The document discusses environmental issues and the university's interaction with the environment. It notes that pollution, waste generation, and resource depletion can cause health issues, global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, and deforestation. The university generates various solid and liquid wastes as well as gaseous emissions. Implementing an environmental management system can help protect the environment, ensure compliance, reduce risks and costs, and improve public image. The document provides tips for reducing paper waste and encourages switching off lights and equipment to save energy.

3. General Environmental
Information
WHY DOES THE ENVIRONMENT NEED
PROTECTING?
Pollution, the generation of wastes and the
depletion of natural resources leads to local as
well as global environmental problems
including:
Health & safety issues
Global warming (the “greenhouse effect”)
Ozone depletion
Acid rain
Deforestation

4. Types of Pollution
Water Pollution
from chemical/ oil spillages
Air Pollution
from boilers etc.
vehicle emissions
Soil Pollution
from chemical/ oil spillages
Incorrect disposal of waste

5. The University’s Interaction with the Environment
Generation of Pollutants & Wastes
SolidWaste Liquid Waste Gaseous
Emissions
Scrap steel Waste Lab Chemicals Smoke
Packaging waste Waste solvents Particulate
Waste paper Waste Oils/ lubricants Greenhouse

6. Benefits of an Environmental
Management System (EMS)
Protection of the environment
Demonstrate compliance with legislation
Reduce risk and liabilities
Meet customer requirements
Gain marketing advantage
Reduce costs
Improve public image

7. Air Emissions

8. Waste Recycling
Office paper
Cardboard
Fluorescent tubes

9. Do’s and Don’t’s
Waste Paper
Reduce the amount of paper being used by the following;
1. Send documents electronically where possible
2. Photocopy on both sides of sheets.
3. Use old one sided photocopies for making notes.
This reduces both the amount of waste paper to be disposed of (+
associated costs) as well as the cost of buying the paper.
Ensure waste paper is disposed of in the recycling towers

12. Save Trees Cutted Trees

13. Today, when environment is being polluted so
rigorously, everyone has only one question on his / her lips and
mind that is how to save environment from being polluted. How
to protect earth from disaster? The strongest way to protect
environment is save trees. Trees are one of the main creations
of God that play an important role to keep air clean. If there
will be no fresh air available then how human beings, animal, and
birds survive; therefore, a clean environment is the need for
every living object on this earth. Many big
organizations, schools, colleges, and NGOs are taking initiatives
to save trees for a better future, clean air, and unpolluted
environment, in short healthy life for living objects.
One of the biggest initiatives to save trees is taken by Idea
Cellular Ltd. - a part of Aditya Birla Group. Today, trees are
being cut with a great speed for full filling daily needs of human
beings. It is true that we need to cut trees for our daily needs
but cutting trees in such a furious way is leading towards a
disaster. You might have noticed that as the number of trees is
reducing; disasters are being continuously increasing, which is
ultimately leading into high death rate. A big part of the trees
is cut to make paper to help us do our personal and official
works. If the use of paper will be minimized then we can save a
large number of trees from being cut, which leads into healthy
and clean environment that is fresh air and healthy life.

15. Garbage of Plastic Bags Plastics in the Oceans

16. .
****
Every year, around 500
billion (500000000000)
plastic bags are used
worldwide. So many that
over one million bags are
being used every minute
and they're damaging our
environment.

17. Pestisides
The environmental impact of pesticides is often greater than what is intended by
those who use them. Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides
reach a destination other than their target species, including nontarget
species, air, water, bottom sediments, and food. Though there can be benefits
using pesticides, inappropriate use can counterproductively increase pest
resistance and kill the natural enemies of pests. Many users are inadequately
informed about potential short and long-term risks, and the necessary precautions
in the correct application of such toxic chemicals are not always made. Pesticides
can contaminate unintended land and water when they are sprayed aerially or
allowed to run off fields, or when they escape from production sites and storage
tanks or are inappropriately discarded.

the air by making & using plastic bags.
 We are polluting the ocean by throwing
Garbage.
 We are polluting the air, soil & ocean by
