Say no to Pollution

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into

the natural environment that cause adverse
change. Pollution can take the form of chemical
substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light.
Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be
either foreign substances/energies or naturally
occurring contaminants. the presence in or
introduction into the environment of a substance
which has harmful or poisonous effects.

Air pollution
Air pollution is a mix of
particles and gases that can
reach harmful concentrations
both outside and indoors. Its
effects can range from higher
disease risks to rising
temperatures. Soot, smoke,
mold, pollen, methane, and
carbon dioxide are a just few
examples of
common pollutants. Air
pollution occurs when
harmful or excessive
quantities of substances
including gases, particles,
and biological molecules are
introduced into Earth's
atmosphere.
Causes of Air pollution.
1. Burning of Fossil Fuels: Sulfur dioxide emitted from the
combustion of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and other factory
combustibles is one the major cause of air pollution.
Pollution emitting from vehicles including trucks, jeeps, cars,
trains, airplanes cause immense amount of pollution ... Most of
this air pollution we cause results from the burning of fossil
fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline to produce
electricity and power our vehicles. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a
good indicator of how much fossil fuel is burned and how
much of other pollutants are emitted as a result. Human air
pollution is caused by things such as factories, power plants,
cars, airplanes, chemicals, fumes from spray cans, and methane
gas from landfills. One of the ways that humans cause the
most air pollution is by burning fossil fuels. Fossil fuels include
coal, oil, and natural gas.
Water pollution
Water pollution is
the contamination of water
bodies, usually as a result
of human
activities. Water bodies
include for example lakes,
rivers, oceans, aquifers and
groundwater. Water
pollution results when
contaminants are
introduced into the natural
environment.
 Water pollution is caused due to several reasons. ... Sewage
And Waste Water: Sewage, garbage and liquid waste of
households, agricultural lands and factories are discharged
into lakes and rivers. These wastes contain harmful
chemicals and toxins which make the water poisonous for
aquatic animals and plants. 1. Industrial waste: Industries
produce huge amount of waste which
contains toxicchemicals and pollutants which can cause air
pollution and damage to us and our environment. They
contain pollutants such as lead, mercury, sulphur, asbestos,
nitrates and many other harmful chemicals. Humans are the
main cause of water pollution, which is triggered in many
ways: by the dumping of industrial waste; due to
temperature rise, that cause the alteration of water by
reducing the oxygen in its composition; Or due to
deforestation, which causes sediments and bacteria to
appear under the soil and therefore ...
Land pollution
Land pollution is the
deterioration (destruction)
of the earth's land surfaces,
often directly or indirectly
as a result of man's
activities and their misuse
of land resources. Soil
contamination or soil
pollution as part of land
degradation is caused by
the presence of xenobiotic
chemicals or other
alteration in the natural soil
environment. It is typically
caused by industrial
activity, agricultural
chemicals, or improper
disposal of waste.v
 Land pollution is a major problem around the world and
is caused by a variety of factors. Some of maincauses of
soil pollution include deforestation and consequent erosion,
agriculture, industry, mining, landfills and illegal dumping
of waste as well as urbanization and constructionThis
is caused by the overuse of chemical
fertilizers, soil erosion caused by running water and other
pest control measures; this leads to loss of fertile land for
agriculture, forest cover, fodder patches for grazing etc.
Industrial wastes such as harmful gases and chemicals,
agricultural pesticides, fertilizers and insecticides are the
most common causes of soil pollution. ~ Improper septic
system and management and maintenance of the same. ... ~

rain and seep into nearbysoil
Noise pollution
Noise pollution, also known
as environmental noise
or sound pollution, is the
propagation of noise with
harmful impact on the activity
of human or animal life. The
source of
outdoor noise worldwide is
mainly caused by machines,
transport and propagation
systems. Gadgets like food
mixer, grinder, vacuum
cleaner, washing machine and
dryer, cooler, air conditioners,
can be very noisy and
injurious to health. Others
include loud speakers
of sound systems and TVs,
ipods and ear phones.
 Noise pollution can cause hypertension, high
stress levels, tinnitus, hearing loss, sleep
disturbances, and other harmful
effects. Sound becomes unwanted when it either
interferes with normal activities such as sleeping,
conversation, or disrupts or diminishes one's
quality of life. NIHL can also be caused by
extremely loud bursts of sound, such as gunshots
or explosions, which can rupture the eardrum or
damage the bones in the middle ear. This kind of
NIHL can be immediate and permanent.
Loud noise exposure can alsocause tinnitus—a
ringing, buzzing, or roaring in the ears or head
