POLLUTION

‣ Mixing unwanted and harmful


substances into the environment is
called pollution. Contamination of
these harmful substances into the
environment causes negative effects on
nature. (Contamination means being
impure)

‣
TYPES OF POLLUTION
> Air Pollution
> Water Pollution
> Land Pollution
> Noise Pollution
> Radioactive Pollution
> Light Pollution etc.
AIR POLLUTION
Causes of air pollution

▸ Burning of fuels

▸ Smoke from vehicles and factories

▸ Deforestation

Precautions for air pollution

▸ Reducing fuel consumption

▸ Using lters in chimneys to lter


poisonous gases

▸ Afforestation

WATER POLLUTION
Causes of water pollution

▸ Poisonous wastes from industries into the water


bodies.

▸ Sewage and wastewater from homes into the water


bodies

▸ Dumping dead animals and garbage into the rivers.

Precaution for water pollution

▸ Treating the wastes from industries before


disposing them into water.

▸ Setting up sewage treatment plants.

▸ Not dumping the dead animals into the water


bodies.
LAND POLLUTION
Causes of Land Pollution

▸ Throwing the waste openly on lands.

▸ Fertilizers, pesticides, and other harmful


chemicals.

▸ Wastes from Thermal power plants, mining,


leather, rubber industries, etc.

Precaution for land pollution

▸ Managing the garbage in a better way.

▸ Reducing the use of poisonous chemicals and


practicing organic farming.

▸ Proper waste management from the industries etc.


NOISE POLLUTION
Causes of Noise Pollution

▸ Excessive levels of noise from loud music,


honking, etc.

▸ High-speed aircraft.

▸ Industries with heavy machinery etc.


Precautions for noise pollution

▸ Reducing the loud music and avoiding


unnecessary honking.

▸ Following the guidelines for noise levels.

▸ Controlling the noise near sensitive areas like


jungles, hospitals, schools, etc.
RADIO ACTIVE POLLUTION
Causes of radio active pollution

▸ Release of radioactive substances into the


environment.

▸ Nuclear testing of weapons, explosions, and


nuclear weapon production.

▸ Mining and handling of radioactive materials.


Precaution for radio active pollution

▸ Proper waste management of radioactive wastes


from the power plants.

▸ Reducing the use of nuclear weapons.

▸ Keeping the extra safety measures in the


industries related to radioactive materials.
LIGHT POLLUTION
Light Pollution is another type of
pollution that is caused by excessive and
unwanted use of light during the
nighttime.

‣ > Light pollution changes the natural


conditions of the atmosphere and
environment.

‣ > Sensible and controlled use of light


helps in controlling light pollution.
