Nagendra's Routine
Personal Hygiene & Bathing
Using of Face washers
Using of Showers and using more water than required
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
Food Preparation
During Cleaning of Vegetables and meat many of them wont shut their taps so there is great lose of fresh water
The vegetable and meat waste after cleaning and chopping is mixed into the general MSW in many countries leading to Air pollution
House Keeping
Washing of clothes
Once chlorine reaches open water, it reacts with minerals in the ocean to form dangerous toxins

Water pollution
Types of Water pollution
Ground water pollution
Pollution by applying pesticides and chemicals
Nutrients Pollution
Some waste water and sewage contains more nutrients which help in the growth of algae
Surface water Pollution
Throwing of wastes may mix up with rainwater and effects the surface water
Oxygen depleating
Algae in the waste water creates more algae by absorbing more oxygen
chemical water pollution
Many industries and farmers ends up their work by mixing of chemicals in water
Oil Spillage
Sailing ships and oil riggers releases waste oil effecting marine life
What is Water pollution
This form of environmental degradation occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment
Control measures or methods
Industrial waste water treatment
sewage Treatment
Agriculture waste water treatment
Control of urban run off
Sediment control from Construction site
Extent and effects
Increase of water born diseases
Improves chemical reaction for the growth of algae
Cleaning or filtering of water becomes costlier
Kills Marine life
Effects the immune system of the humans
Ground Water pollution

Fabric filter system
Electrostatic precipitator
Dry and wet Scrubbing process
Control measures and methods
Using unleaded petrol
Encouraging people to use public transport, walk or use a cycle as opposed to private vehicles
Plant trees along busy streets as they remove particulates, carbon dioxide and absorb noise
Industries and waste disposal sites should be situated outsdide the city preferably on the downwind of the city.
Using fuels with low sulphur and ash content
Effects

Industrial pollution
what is Industrial pollution
Any form of pollution that can trace its immediate source to industrial practices is known as industrial pollution
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
