Pollutions

-Pollution is an undesirable change in the chemical, physical, or biological characteristics of nature.

Pollutants :
Substance that is present in an excessive amount in the environment asa result at human activities. Pollutants have damaging effects on health. They are also harmful to other living organisms.

Types of pollution
Air pollution. Water pollution. Thermal pollution. Noise pollution.

Air Pollution
Identify the different of these two pictures.

What is the sources of air pollution?

THE SOURCES AND EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTANS

Sources

Pollutants Sulphur dioxide

Effect on human health Irritates eyes Destroy lung cell Corrodes the skin Skin discoses

Factories Nitrogen

Bronchitis Lowers body resistance to lung disease -Smarting eyes Cause asthma attack

Dirt dust

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Delayed thinking Cause death

Effects of Air Pollution . Building and property

Sulphur dioxide,oxides of nitrogen,nitrogen dioxide causes acid rain, corrode and weaken buildings. Dust, smoke, fumes dirty building. Oxides of nitrogen cause fading of colours.

Effect of Air Pollution On Agriculture

Toxic gases lowers plant resistance towards diseases. Destroys plant tissue Failure to produce chlorophyll(chlorosis) Acid rain lowers soil acidity,makes soil unsuitable for farming.

Effects of air pollution on weather

Sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, oxides of nitrogen cause acid rain. Smoke and haze cause high temperature and unclear vision. Carbon dioxide raises Earths temperature,causes greenhouse-effect and polar ice melts causing floods.

WATER POLLUTION
Disharging industrial wastes,agriculture waste,dosmetik wastes and sewage into rivers contribute to water pollution. Thus,causing the water to be unsafe for humans can consumption as well as endangering the lives of aquatik organisms.

Sources of water pollution :

Domestic waste Agricultural waste Oil spillage at sea Non biodegradable waste

 Industrial waste

THE EFFECT OF WATER POLLUTION ON LIFE :

-DOMESTIC WASTE DISCHARGED INTO SEWERAGE SYSTEM BREEDS HARMFUL BACTERIAL TO LIFE. -INDUSTRIAL WASTE SUCH AS MERCURY, ARSENIC AND CADMIUM ARE HARMFUL TO HUMAN HEALTH -WATER POLLUTION KILLS AQUATIC PLANT. AQUATIC ANIMALS THAT FEED ON AQUATIC PLANT WILL GRADUALLY EXTINCT. -OIL SPILLAGE AND RUBBISH FLOATING ON TOP OF WATER REDUCE OXYGEN AND SUN RAYS PENETRATION TO AQUATIC PLANT AND ANIMALS AND BADLY AFFECTED THEIR SURVIVAL.

EUTROFICATION :
DISCHARGE OF AGRICULTURAL WASTE INTO THE WATER SYSTEM INCRESAES ALGAE PLANT. DECOMPOSITION OF ALGAE TAKES A LARGE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN. THE B.O.D. THEN INCREASES AND BADLY AFFECTED AQUATIC LIFE.

Among the measures are: Implementation of law Use of technology Education Preservation and conservation Biology control Efficient use of energy
