INTRODUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Our environment is a major aspect of our life today. Many of us don't take our Earth seriously and think that as long as pollution doesn't hurt them they can go ahead and throw garbage on the ground or spill oil down the drain. Well to many people have that theory and they are killing off our Earth and also physically harming themselves from the air they breath and the water they swim in. Our Earth is fragile like a human and people don't know.
DEFINITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Environmental pollution is the build-up and concentration of toxic levels of chemicals in the air, water, and land, which reduces the ability of the affected area to support life. Pollutants may be gaseous- ozone and carbon monoxide, for example; liquid discharge from industrial plants and sewage systems; or solid-landfills and junkyards.
KINDS OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
There are actually SEVEN different kinds of environmental pollution. Most people can name them are;
o Air pollutiono Land pollutiono Water pollutiono Noise pollutiono Light pollutiono Thermal pollutiono Visual pollution
Listed below are each kind and examples to help you understand just how we can affect the environment and each other.
AIR POLLUTION DEFINITION;AIR POLLUTION IS THE CONTAMINATION OF AIR BY SMOKE AND HARMFUL GASES, MAINLY OXIDES OF
CARBON, SULFUR, AND NITROGEN.
EXAMPLE OF AIR POLLUTION
Some examples of air pollution include: Exhaust fumes from vehicles The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil or gas Harmful off- gasing from things such as paint, plastic
production and so on Radiation spills or nuclear accidents Air pollution is linked to asthma, allergies and other
respiratory illnesses.
CAUSES OF AIR POLLUTION
Major sources of air pollution are;o Industrieso Smokeo Misto Carbon blacko Aerosolso Dusto Automobiles and domestic fuelo High proportion of undesirable gases
EFFECT OF AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution effect? Human health Animal Plants The atmosphere Global warming Acids rains Ozone depletion Various respairatly illness
PREVENTION OF AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution prevention? Local controls Dark smoke Boilers and furnaces
EXAMPLE OF LIGHT POLLUTION;
Some examples of what causes light pollution: Street lamps that shine light in all directions, instead of
with a hood to point light downward toward the street. Unnecessary lights, especially around the home
Light pollution uses more energy (by shining more light up instead of down), may affect human health and our sleep cycles and most importantly, corrupts our kids telescopes and their curiosity.
Wastage of light pollution
CAUSES OF LIGHT POLLUTION
EFFECT OF LIGHT POLLUTION;
PREVENTION OF LIGHT POLLUTION;
LAND POLLUTION DEFINITION;
Land pollution is the degradation of the Earth's surface caused by a misuse of resources and improper disposal of waste.
EXAMPLE OF LAND POLLUTION
Some examples of land pollution include: Litter found on the side of the road Illegal dumping in natural habitats Oil spills that happen inland The use of pesticides and other farming chemicals Damage and debris caused from unsustainable
mining and logging practices Radiation spills or nuclear accidents
CAUSES OF LAND POLLUTION
Four main causes of land pollution are Construction Agriculture Domestic waste Industrial waste
EFFECT OF LAND POLLUTION
These are the effect of land pollution; The land cannot used to built houses Man cannot farming Ground water will get effected Death of the animal that inhabit the land
PREVENTION OF LAND POLLUTION
Good agriculture practice Trees should be planted everywhere Waste matter should be disposed immediately Remediation of polluted soils Avoid using more fertilizers prevention of erosion and silting

WATER POLLUTION DEFINITION;
Water pollution is the contamination of any body of water (lakes, groundwater, oceans, etc)
EXAMPLE OF WATER POLLUTION
Some examples of water pollution: Raw sewage running into lake or streams Industrial waste spills contaminating groundwater Radiation spills or nuclear accidents Illegal dumping of substances, or items in bodies of
water Biological contamination, such as bacteria growth
CAUSES OF WATER POLLUTION
Agriculture waste water Oil spills Mining Trash on common roads Refineries Industries process Natural factors effect ground water
EFFECT OF WATER POLLUTION; Malaria Diseases like cholera Typhoid (spread during the rainy season) Aquatic life gets destroyed
PREVENTION OF WATER POLLUTION;
Factories should not throw there waste in water bodies
People should not bath and wash clothes in rivers and lakes
People should not take there animal to take bath in rivers or lakes
NOISE POLLUTION DEFINITION
Noise pollution is any loud sounds that are either harmful or annoying to humans and animals.
EXAMPLE OF NOISE POLLUTION
Some examples of noise pollution: Airplanes, helicopters and motor vehicles Construction or demolition noise Human activities such as sporting events or
concerts
CAUSES OF NOISE POLLUTION
Traffic noise Air craft noise Noise from construction Noise from the industries Noise from the other sources
EFFECT OF NOISE POLLUTION
Herring loss Stress High blood pressure Sleep disturbance Colour blindness
EFFECT OF NOISE POLLUTION
PREVENTION OF NOISE POLLUTION
Pleasant home We need to talk sweetly to other Talk less more work Sound effect of ears so loud noise should be avoided Bhagvan baba says that ‘’ silent is god’’
THERMAL POLLUTION DEFINITION;
Thermal pollution is the increase of temperature caused by human activity.
EXAMPLE OF THERMAL POLLUTION
Warmer lake water from nearby manufacturing (using cool water to cool the plant and then pump it back into the lake)
Included in thermal pollution should also be the increase in temperatures in areas with lots of concrete or vehicles, generally in cities
CAUSES OF THERMAL POLLUTION
Nuclear power plants Coal fired power plants Industrial effluents Domestic sewage
EFFECT OF THERMAL POLLUTION
Change dissolved oxygen Economic and environmental damage Decrease in productivity of the water body Changes in migration time and pattern may be
effected Death of steno hermetic animals production of heat shock
proteins for thermotolerance.
PREVENTION OF THERMAL POLLUTION
VISUAL POLLUTION DEFINITION;
Visual pollution is what you would call anything unattractive or visualizing damaging to the nearby landscape. This tends to be a highly subjective topic, as we all find different things attractive and unattractive.
EXAMPLE OF VISUAL POLLUTION
Some examples of visual pollution: Skyscrapers might block the view of a mountain Graffiti or carving on trees, rocks or other natural
landscapes Billboards, litter, abandoned homes and junkyards
could also be considered among three kinds of environmental pollution
CAUSES OF VISUAL POLLUTION
SOURCES OF VISUAL POLLUTION; POWER LINES CONSTRUCTION AREIA BILL BOARDS AND ADVERTISING
EFFECT OF VISUAL POLLUTION
PEOPLE WANTED TO GO TO THAT PLACES BUTS ITS WRITING ALL OVER
NOT KNOWING WHTS THE DRAWING MEAN UNTIDYNESS POLICE SEEING THEM DOING IT AND NOT DOING
ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT IT
PREVENTION OF VISUAL POLLUTION
Nuclear power plant Deforestation Soil erosion
