Environmental pollution.

Environmental pollution is containing of physical &biological components of earth/atmosphere system to such an extent that normal processes are adversely affected.

What are t Environme t Types of I Pollution?.

Different types of environmental polluti on 1. Air pollution 2. Water pollution 3. Land pollution 4. Sound pollution 5. Radioactive pollution 6. Thermal/heat pollution 7. E-waste.

Air pollution Air pollution is the release of pollutants such as gas particles, and biological molecules into the air that is harmful to human health and the environment into air. According to WHO each year air pollution is responsible for nearly 7 million deaths around the globe..

What causes air pollution? 1. Burning of fossil fuels Combustion of fossil fuels emits a large amount of gases such as ▪ Carbon monoxide ▪ Carbon dioxide ▪ Sulfur ▪ Nitrogen dioxide ▪ Nitrogen oxide ▪ Volatile organic compounds ▪ Hydrocarbons.

2. automobiles. Gases emiting from vehicles such as jeeps, trucks ,cars , buses etc pollute the environment. These are the major source of green house gases & also result in diseases among individuals..

3.Factories &industrial waste. Factories and Industries are main source of carbon monoxide , organic compounds &chemicals. These are released into air , degtating its quality..

4. Wildfires 5.microbial decaying process 6.Open burning of garbage waste 7.Agricultural activities.

Effects of Air Pollution. Air pollution affects all things. It is harmful to our health, and it impacts the environment by reducing visibility and blocking sunlight, causing acid rain, and harming forests, wildlife, and agriculture. Greenhouse gas pollution, the cause of climate change, affects the entire planet..

Short-term exposure to air pollution can cause: ong -term exposure to air pollution can cause 1.Coughing 2.Wheezing/difficulty 3.breathing 4.Irritation to eyes, nose, and throat 5.Headache 6.Dizziness 7.Fatigue 1.Respiratory diseases (asthma, emphysema) 2.Cardiovascular damage 3.Harm to liver, spleen, and blood 4.Nervous system damage Cancer 5.Birth defects 6.Death.

Harming Animals and Plants Causing Acid Rain Reducing Sunlight Effects of Greenhouse Gas Pollution.

Water pollution.

6 Types of Water Pollution Surface water pollution. The water on the surface of the planet is made up of seas, oceans, lakes, rivers and other waterways. ... Groundwater pollution. ... Chemical pollution. ... Microbiological pollution. ... Nutrient pollution. ... Suspended matter pollution..

Effects on water pollution. Redescription of the ecosystem T hreats to marine life Increased risk of water-borne diseases Increases toxic chemicals (such as mercury) in water bodies Eutrophication.

Health Concerns Resulting from Contaminated Water.

How You Can Prevent Water Pollution • • • • • • • Avoid Hardscaped Surfaces Pick Up After Pets Dont Put Nondegradable Products Down Your Toilet or Sink Reduce Pesticide Use Conserve Water Plant Trees Install Water-Efficient Appliances Reduce Plastic Consumption.

To clean our oceans, fight land pollution | UNOPS.

What is land pollution? Land pollution refers to all forms of pollution affecting any type of soil: agricultural, forestry, urban, etc. Soil pollution is a disruptive element for many biological resources and ecosystems. A soil is polluted when it contains an abnormal concentration of chemical compounds potentially dangerous to human health, plants or animals..

There are different types of land pollution : 1.Agricultural land pollution 2.Chemicals 3.Solid waste.

Land pollution Causes Human activities are the main causes of land pollution: 1.Agriculture Deforestation 2.Urbanization 3.Mining 4.Industrial waste 5.Waste disposal Is land degradation only resulting from human activities? Natural disasters, such as drought, floods and volcanic eruptions, or technological events - like radioactive fallout following a nuclear test - also produce soil degradation..

Land pollution effects ON THE ENVIRONMENT Contamination of groundwater, loss of topsoil, water nutrient enrichment and increased risk of wildfires (because of the dry conditions created by the pollutants in the soil) are among the consequences of land pollution. ON WILDLIFE As land pollution and soil erosion progress, animals are forced to shift habitats and adapt to new conditions. As a result, some species are at risk of extinction. ON HUMAN HEALTH The potential effects of soil contamination on human health include breathing disorders, birth defects, skin diseases, and cancer..

Facts About Land Pollution That Will Make You Sit Up in Shock - Help Save Nature.

Land pollution prevention. 1. Clean up 2. Green agriculture 3. Sustainable forest management 4. Proper waste disposal 5. The "3 R's" Rule & Education.

361. Sound pollution.

Noise pollution is an invisible danger. It cannot be seen, but it is present nonetheless, both on land and under the sea. Noise pollution is considered to be any unwanted or disturbing sound that affects the health and well-being of humans and other organisms. There are many sources of noise pollution, but here are some of the main ones: 1.Traffic noise. 2.Air traffic noise. 3.Construction sites. 4.Animals 5. Catering and night life.

ways to reduce noise pollution that aren't covering your ears like this guy is.

Plant trees. Trees can produce white noise to help muffle the effects of unwanted noises. Dense foliage can also form a bit of a sound barrier. Help educate people on the effects of noise. Noise pollution is linked to hearing loss, diabetes and heart disease . It also has been shown to have effects on fetuses . Bike instead of drive. It’s eco-friendly and reducing engine noise and traffic congestion. Make certain that your mode of transportation is in good working order. Consistent maintenance is an important part of reducing noise pollution. Getting a tune-up or a transmission overhaul may quiet a lot of loud and unnecessary car and motorcycle noises. Are you tired of people hearing you from miles away? Take your car in and make sure that it meets the standard levels of noise emission..
