Global warming
Disturbance of Sustainability
Soil pollution
What is soil pollution
part of land degradation 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, or improper disposal of waste
Industrial pollution
what is Industrial pollution
Any form of pollution that can trace its immediate source to industrial practices is known as industrial pollution
Air Pollution
Effects
Adverse Health effects
Mortality
Lung cancers
Cardiovascular
Econoic effects
Ground Level Ozone
Eutrophication
Acidification
Control measures and methods
Using fuels with low sulphur and ash content
Industries and waste disposal sites should be situated outsdide the city preferably on the downwind of the city.
Plant trees along busy streets as they remove particulates, carbon dioxide and absorb noise
Encouraging people to use public transport, walk or use a cycle as opposed to private vehicles
Using unleaded petrol
Equipment to control Air pollution
Dry and wet Scrubbing process
Electrostatic precipitator
Fabric filter system
Cyclonic seporator
Gravitational settling chamber
Air Pollutants
Particulate Matter
Nitrogen dioxide
Sulpher dioxide
Lead
Ground level ozone
Carbon Monoxide
What is Air Pollution
Chemical reactions involving air pollutants can create acidic compounds which can cause harm to vegetation and buildings
Water pollution
Subtopic
Extent and effects
Improves conditions for soil degradation
Ground Water pollution
Effects the immune system of the humans
Kills Marine life
Cleaning or filtering of water becomes costlier
Improves chemical reaction for the growth of algae
Increase of water born diseases
Control measures or methods
Sediment control from Construction site
Control of urban run off
Agriculture waste water treatment
sewage Treatment
Industrial waste water treatment
What is Water pollution
This form of environmental degradation occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment
Types of Water pollution
Oil Spillage
Sailing ships and oil riggers releases waste oil effecting marine life
chemical water pollution
Many industries and farmers ends up their work by mixing of chemicals in water
Oxygen depleating
Algae in the waste water creates more algae by absorbing more oxygen
Surface water Pollution
Throwing of wastes may mix up with rainwater and effects the surface water
Nutrients Pollution
Some waste water and sewage contains more nutrients which help in the growth of algae
Ground water pollution
Pollution by applying pesticides and chemicals
Nagendra's Routine
Transportation /Traveling
Sailing
Oil splitting
Through aeroplanes
Travelling by car/ bike
Shopping
Cosmetics
Shamppos and face washes
Deodrants
Grocery shopping
packed in polymer covers
Chemical gases releases in to the air
out put waste like chemicals mixed in water
Clothes
Jeans ,linens,shirts
A pair of jeans is made up of 2500 gallons of water
Work
Construction of power plant
Land aqisation
Roads
Using of concrete and other construction materials
House Keeping
keeping house clean
Muncipal soild waste accumulation
Degraded by land filling and inciration
Contaminates air , soil,ground water
Washing of clothes
Once chlorine reaches open water, it reacts with minerals in the ocean to form dangerous toxins
Food Preparation
The vegetable and meat waste after cleaning and chopping is mixed into the general MSW in many countries leading to Air pollution
During Cleaning of Vegetables and meat many of them wont shut their taps so there is great lose of fresh water
Toilet Hygiene
In many countries there is no compost toilets which leading to the increase of waste water for every flush there is a loss of 15 liters of good water
Personal Hygiene & Bathing
Using of Showers and using more water than required
Using of Face washers
