ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION
Introduction
The earth is facing an environmental crisis on a scale of unprecedented in
human history. The crisis is already responsible for high levels of suffering and
if it continues, risks the extinction of human life on the planet.
Environment Meaning
Environment means all of the outside forces, events and things that act on
a thing. A person’s environment is made up of everything that surrounds him
or her, including houses, buildings, people, animals, land, temperature, water,
light and other living and non-living things. Living things do not simply exist in
their environment. They constantly interact with it. Organisms change in
response to conditions in their environment.
The environment consists of the interactions among plants, animals, soil
water, temperature, light ad other living and non-living things.
The environment affects the growth and development of the person. It
affects the person’s behaviour. It affects the person’s body and mind.
Types of Environment Pollution


Air Pollution



Water Pollution



Land Pollution
Air Pollution
Air Pollution is the outcome of any change in the composition of
air, either by physical or chemical methods that cause harmful
effects on health.
Sources of Air Pollution
There are two sources namely.
1. Natural sources
2. Man-made(anthropogenic) sources
Natural sources
Volcanic eruption, forest fire, sea salt sprays, biological decay,
photochemical oxidation of terpenes, marshes, pollen grains, and
spores are some natural sources. Radio active minerals present in
the earth’s crust are the sources of radioactivity in the
atmosphere.
Man-made sources
 Industrial emissions, vehicles, aeroplanes, powerstations, burning of fuels, etc., are made sources.
 Air pollution is caused mainly due to burning of fuels to
run vehicles and from chimneys of factories and power
stations.
 Air contains 20.9% oxygen, 78% Nitrogen, 0.03%
Carbondioxide, Neon, Krypton, Hydrogen and water
vapour in small quantities.


Vehicles cause 50% of the air pollution in india.

NAME OF THE
AIR
POLLUTANTS

SOURCES

EFFECTS

1.

Carbonmonoxide

Combustion of
fuels

It reacts with
haemoglobin in
human blood
forming
carboxyhaemoglobin. It
may lead to
death.

2.

Carbon dioxide

Burning of coal/ It leads to
timber
global warming.

3.

Nitrogen oxides

Automobile
exhausts

It causes acid
rain.

4.

Sulphur dioxide

Burning of
sulphur

It causes
irritation in the
eyes, lung
cancer and
asthma.
Oxides of nitrogen,
sulphur, and carbon
produced by
combustion of coal,
petroleum, etc;
dissolve in
atmospheric water
vapour. They form
their corresponding
acids like nitric acid,
sulphuric acid, etc;
and reach the earth’s
surface as acid rain.

ACID RAIN
Effects of Acid Rain
It inhibits germination and growth of seedlings.
It irritates the eyes and the skin of human beings.
It changes the fertility of the soil, destroys plant and aquatic life.
It causes corrosion of mini buildings, bridges, etc.,
The increase in the concentration of green house gases (CO2, methane)
in the atmosphere allows radiations of short wavelength reflect back to
earth. The consequent increase in the global mean temperature dew to
green house gases is called global warming.
Ozone Depletion
Ozone is colourless gas, found in the upper atmosphere
and is highly beneficial. The ozone layer is thinning due to
the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. Holes caused
in the ozone layer allow the harmful UV-rays to reach the
earth.

Control of Air Pollution
Air pollution can be minimized by following ways:
Use of crude oil should be avoided and use of high quality fuels,
unleaded petrol, bio-diesel and compressed natural gas should be
recommended.
Use of automobiles should be minimized. Industrial smoke must
be filtered before releasing into the atmosphere. By planting more
trees to get pure air(O2) and reduce the CO2 content in the
environment.
Water Pollution
Water is said to b e polluted when there are undesirable
changes in the physical, chemical and biological conditions of
water that make it unfit for human consumption.
Water becomes polluted in many ways:
Stagnant water becomes polluted day by day. It gives out
a foul smell and mosquitoes breed there in large numbers
causing malaria.
Pond water may become polluted due to bathing and
washing clothes. We should not wash our clothes in ponds.
Sources of Water Pollution
Water Pollution produces the amount of pure
fresh water that is available for agriculture,
drinking, cleaning, swimming and fishing. The
pollutants that affect water come mainly from
industries, forms and sewage systems. Industries
dump huge amounts of waste products into water
bodies.
Waste from farms include animal waste,
fertilizers and pesticides. Most of these materials
drain off from fields nearby water bodies. Sewage
systems carry waste from homes, offices and
industries into water bodies.
Control and Preventive Measures


Treating waste in effluent treatment plant
before it is discharged into the water bodies.



Reusing the treated water either for
gardening or cooling purpose wherever
possible.



Over usage of water should be prevented.



Wash clothes at a place away from the well.
Purification of Water
Cleaning of water is a process of removing
pollution before it enters a water body. This
process of waste water treatment is
commonly known as sewage treatment.
What is sewage ?
Sewage is waste water released by homes,
industries, hospitals, offices and other users.
It also includes rain water that runs down the
streets during a storm or heavy rain.
Land Pollution
Land Pollution
Pollution of the earth’s natural land surface
by industrial, commercial, domestic and
agricultural activities is called land pollution.
Throwing waste things like plastic, animal
wastage, dye effluent and wastage causes land
pollution.
Sources of Land Pollution
Land is polluted by excessive usage of
fertilizers, pesticides, sewage waste and factory
wastes. It is mainly polluted by garbage.
Some land pollutants, called hazardous wastes cannot be
disposed easily. chemicals used in dry cleaning are examples
of such wastes. Proper disposal of hazardous wastes is vital
to maintain a safe and healthy environment.
Bioplastics
Bioplastics are a form of plastic derived from
renewable biomass sources such as vegetable oil,
corn starch, pea starch by the action of micro
Organism.
The Eumycetes and Schizomycetes micro organism are
responsible for degradation.
Bioplastics are bio degradable, bio-compatible and
renewable.
Uses of Bioplastics
Bioplastics are used in many ways such as packaging,
agriculture and medicine.
Packaging: Trays and containers for fruits, eggs, meat and
bottles for soft drinks.
Agriculture: Plant pots used for flowering and vegetable
plants.
Medicine: To Produce artificial heart valves, tooth
reconstruction, bone fracture plates and artificals skin.
Polluting the Planet


Over a million tons of oil are deliberately discharged into
the world’s oceans every year by tankers during the routine
cleaning of they tanks.



Fertilizers help crops grow fast water. Take it out and once
again feel and examing it.



Gases like sulphur di oxide released from power station
and factories kill many species of lichens and mosses.



Pesticides make birds lay eggs with unnaturally thin
shells.



Today, literally tens of thousands of pollutants are
present in air, water and soil and are incorporated into plant
and animal tissues.



Pollutions is no longer a local or even a national phenomenon. It
is a global problem.
The release of chloro fluro carbon (CFC) from refrigerators has caused a
breakdown in the ozone layer. It causes skin cancer.
Coral reefs are damaged
Solution
Small contribution on our part can make a huge difference in the state of the
environment. Always remember these three points follow them in your day-to-day
life.



Reduce



Recycle



Reuse
Environment provides a very close association
and high degree of inter-dependence between the
living and non-living components of the earth.
Among all the non-living components water is an
essential factor. The world is heading towards a
water crises due to natural and man made
hazards. To save our earth we have to plant more
trees and protect. If we plant more trees, it
increases rainfall and provides a good climate to
live. The oxygen content also increases. It saves
our children from the evil effects of pollution.
