AIR POLLUTION • Causes diseases like asthma & cancer • Harms plants, animals, and the ecosystems • Causes

acid

rain

and

snow

harmful both man, animal and water and plants

SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION

Po llu tion From Powe r P lants & Auto mobil es * Automobile

exhaust contains unburned hydro-carbons, particulates, carbon dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen and sulphur that contribute to acid rain, smog, and global warming.

SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION BURN ING O F FU ELS & HOU SEHO LD ACTI VI TIES

Burning gas, coal, and oil puts into the atmosphere carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,

nitrogen

oxides,

dioxide, and tiny solid particles.

sulfur

SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION Indoor A ir Pollution

* Indoor pollutants include tobacco smoke; radon, an invisible radioactive gas. * Chemicals released from synthetic carpets and furniture, pesticides, and household cleaners. * Indoor air levels of many pollutants may be 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels which is harmful to us. * Inefficient or improperly vented heaters.

EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION •

The oxides combine with water vapour in the air to form acids, which return to the ground as acid rain.

•

Acid Rains

•

Forest Destruction

•

Smog, a mixture of smoke (particulates) and fog, irritates the eyes, throat, and lungs and also damages plants.

•

Ozone Layer Depletion

•

Bhopal-India Gas Tragedy

•

Asthma

Petroleum Products Pesticides and Herbicides Heavy Metals Hazardous Wastes Excess Organic Matter Sediment Infectious Organisms Thermal Pollution

SOURCES OF WATER POLLUTION * *

Pollutants from industrial sources may pour out from the outfall pipes of factories. Cities

and

other

residential

communities

contribute mostly sewage in water pollution. *

Pollutants from such agricultural sources as farms, poultry farms contribute animal wastes, and agricultural chemicals.

So il Po ll utio n * Soil pollution is a build-up of toxic chemical compounds,

and

pathogens

(disease-

causing organisms). * Soil pollution has seriously degraded soil quality, and enhanced erosion. * Fertilizers,

pesticides,

and

fungicides

destroy useful organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and other micro-organisms.

POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING TO HEARING

-100 – ANNOYING

-60 – ACCEPTABLE

*

Exposure of people or animals to levels of sound that are annoying, stressful, or damaging to the ears.

*

Sound intensity is measured in units called decibels.

SOURCE OF NOISE POLLUTION * Automobiles, trucks, and aircraft. Construction equipment, farm machines, and

machinery

inside factories. *

Some home appliances, shop tools, and lawnmowers fire-crackers, and some toys.

* *

High volume music The engines of ships and

off-shore oil

exploration and drilling are also noisy.

METHOD

STRATEGY - I * Re-using paper and much domestic waste. *

Not using cups and plates made of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

*

Educating rag-pickers who are the carriers of pollution-causing products

STRATEGY - II * * * * * * * *

AFFOR ESTA TI ON

Planting new trees and saplings. Controlling the rate of deforestation in our home gardens and schools. Protecting forests by creating awareness. Promoting wild life sanctuaries. Donating money for maintenance of parks, orchards and other natural resources. Presenting our show case at various places to create awareness on evil effects of environment pollution. Using flower pots and earthen pots for growing plants and flowers in case we don’t have garden in our homes. Not encouraging purchase of goods made of wood.

STRATEGY - III BANNI NG POLY THENE S * Say no to polyth ene-t he enemy of our enviro nme nt. *

STRATEGY - IV CH ANGE IN ATTITU DE TO WA RDS OUR E NVI RONMEN T *

Promoting flora and fauna in our vicinity

*

Minimizing pollution by home appliances.

*

Getting

our

vehicles/mopeds

regularly

checked so that their emission must be in the permissible limits and they should be nonpolluting vehicles. *

Avoid burning fossil fuels or other fuels.

STRATEGY - V

OMBA TING NO ISE POLLUT ION * Avoiding high-sound music and sound. * Avoiding continuous persistent blaring of our vehicle horns while driving. *

Creating

awareness

regarding

the

hazards of Noise Pollution. * Discourage DJ Culture, dance and higher decibel creating music parties.

STRATEGY - VI

COMB ATI NG WA TER POLLUTI ON *

Keep the water masses near our home like rivers, ponds, lakes clean.

*

Avoid throwing any garbage like polybags, etc. into the river water.

*

Wage a campaign for cleaning of river water near our habitat.

* Proper sewage system.
