Global warming is caused by both natural and man-made factors such as the burning of fossil fuels. It leads to drastic climate changes, diseases, rising sea levels, food and water shortages, and species extinction. Solutions include government policies to limit pollution, renewable energy use, and individual efforts to reduce waste and resource consumption. Pollution includes air, water, noise, and soil contamination from sources like industry, vehicles, agriculture, and improper waste disposal. Mitigation involves filters, recycling, alternative fuels, and treating contaminated areas.

3. Global Warming
Global Warming is an average increase in
the temperature of the atmosphere near
the Earth ’ s surface and in the
troposphere, which can contribute to
changes in global climate patterns.
5. Causes
Burning of fossil fuels (Coal/Crude oil)
Power plants generate electricity
Transportation fuels for transports (E.g. LPG,
kerosene, fuel oil)
Industrial processes (E.g. manufacture of cement,
steel, aluminum)
Other greenhouse gases emission
Agriculture(use of fertilizers)
Forestry(Deforestation)
Other land uses (mining)
Waste management
6. Besides carbon dioxide,
other gases such as methane,
chlorofluorocarbons,
nitrogen oxides and ozone
also contribute to the
greenhouse effect. Example :
Using natural gas to cook
CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O
7. Global warming effects
Drastic Changes
in Climate
Patterns
Spreading
diseases
Changes in the
Global Sea
Level
Shortage in
foods and clean
water supplies
Widespread
Extinction of
Flora and Fauna
8. 5 Deadliest Effect Of Global
Warming
The melting of the ice caps in the
polar region.
The economic consequences.
Increased probability and intensity
of drought and heat waves.
Warmer waters and more hurricanes.
Spread of diseases.

10. Measures on controlling the
problem
Government
- Set some laws to limit the amount of pollutants
produced by factories.
-Develop the skills of using renewable fuels , e.g.
solar energy, wind energy.
-Encourage the factories to replace fossil fuels
by renewable fuels, which would not cause
environmental pollution.
-Carry out energy saving scheme -> reduce the
pollution produced by burning fossil fuels.
-Build more plants -> reduce the pollutants e.g.
11. Citizens
-Reduce the use of plastic bags -> as
burning plastic emit CH4.
-Recycle the resources, e.g. plastic
-Reduce the use of sprays -> as CFCs would
be emitted out
-Reduce the use of air-conditioner, which
will emit CFCs
-Use public transportation instead of
private cars -> reduce the pollutants
Measures on controlling the
problem
14. Air Pollution
Air pollution is contamination of
the indoor or outdoor
environment by any chemical,
physical or biological agent that
modifies the natural
characteristics of the
atmosphere.
15. Sources Of Air Pollution
Household combustion
devices.
Motor vehicles.
Industrial facilities.
Forest fires
16. How to control air
pollution?
• Maintaining a healthy distance between
the industrial and residential areas.
• The chimneys should be constructed tall in
size so that the emissions must be released
higher up in the environment.
• The mining area should be planted with
trees.
• The coal fuel should be replaced with gas
fuel to control the air pollution.
• The automobiles must be designed with
17. How to control air
pollution?
•The wastes must be removed and recycled in
the industrial plants and refineries.
• Timely servicing of the car helps to keep it
in a good condition, and also minimizes fuel
exhaustion
• Using alternative energy sources like solar
energy, hydroelectric energy, and wind
energy.
• The wastes must be removed and recycled
in the industrial plants and refineries.
18. Air Pollution do have….
Health effects
Effects on cardiovascular health
Effects on breathing (asthma).
Links to cancer
Effects on children
Health effects in relatively
"clean" areas
20. Water Pollution…
Water pollution is the contamination of
water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans,
aquifers and groundwater).
Water pollution occurs when pollutants
are discharged directly or indirectly into
water bodies without adequate
treatment to remove harmful
compounds.
Water pollution affects plants and
organisms living in these bodies of
22. Preventing Water Pollution…
Conserve water by turning off the tap.
Mind what you throw down your sink or
toilet.
Don’t throw paints and oils in water
channels.
Use environment friendly household
products, such as washing powder,
household cleaning agents etc.
Take great care not to overuse pesticides
and fertilizers.
23. Treating Polluted Water...
Suspended, solid particles and
inorganic material can be removed
by the use of filters.
Use of biological filters and
processes can naturally degrade the
organic waste material.
After above two steps chemical
additives are supplied to get rid of
any left-over impurities.
26. Noise Pollution
Noise pollution is displeasing
or excessive noise that may
disrupt the activity or
balance of human or animal
life.
Noise means disgust or
discomfort hearing from
environment.
28. Effects of Noise Pollution
Noise pollution affects both health
and behavior.
Unwanted sound (noise) can damage
psychological health.
Noise pollution can cause
-Annoyance
-Aggression .
-Hypertension .
29. Effects of Noise Pollution
High stress levels .
Hearing loss.
Sleep disturbances, and other
harmful effects.
Chronic exposure to noise may cause
noise-induced hearing loss.
Older males exposed to significant
occupational noise demonstrate
32. Soil Pollution..
Soil contamination or soil pollution is
caused by the presence of xenobiotic
(human-made) chemicals or other
alteration in the natural soil
environment.
It is typically caused by
-Industrial activity.
-Agricultural chemicals.
-Improper disposal of waste.
33. Soil Contaminating Chemical..
• Petroleum hydrocarbons.
• Polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons.
• Pesticides
• Lead and Other heavy metals.
34. How to control soil pollution?
• Limit the use of fertilizers and
pesticides
• Awareness about biological control
methods and their implementation.
• The grazing must be controlled and
forest management should be done
properly.
• The afforestation and reforestation
must take place.
35. How to control soil pollution?
Treating Wastes of industries.
Treating nuclear waste.
Proper disposing of plastics and
other garbage materials.
