POLLUTION

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

Pollutant
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

Air pollution occurs when pollutants
including smoke,dirt,dust and poisonous
gases are released into the air
endengering humans lives and other
living organisms.
What is the sources of air
pollution?
THE SOURCES AND EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTANS

-Irritates eyes
-Destroy lung cell
-Corrodes the skin
-Skin discoses
-Bronchitis
-Lowers body resistance
to lung disease
-Smarting eyes
- Cause asthma attack

-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)
Acd 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.

THE EFFECT OF WATER
POLLUTION TO LIFE

DOEMESTIC 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.

EXERCISE
1. Give five sources of
pollution.
2. Explain the process of
Eutrofication.
Effects of a greenhouse effect
Thinning of the ozone layer
Effect of thinning of the ozone
layer
The Importance of Proper Management of
Development Activities and the Ecosystem
Among the measures are:
Implementation of law
Use of technology
Education
Preservation and conservation
Biology control
Efficient use of energy
