  Слайд 3
  

  Air pollution Imbalance in the quality of air so as to cause adverse affects on the living organisms existing on earth.

• 
  Слайд 4
  

  Causes of air pollution 1.Natural sources Volcanic eruptions Forest fires Pollen grains of flowers 2.Man-made sources Deforestation Emission from vehicles Rapid industrialization Wars

  Слайд 5

  Water Pollution

  Contamination of water by addition of undesirable organic, inorganic or biological substances to water sources Natural sources: soil erosion, leaching of minerals from of rocks and decay matter. Industrial effluents Destroys ecosystem and effects human health

• 
  Слайд 6

  Sources of water pollution

  Community waste waters Industrial wastes Agricultural sources Under ground water pollution Marine pollution Thermal pollution

• 
  Слайд 7

  Soil pollution

  Undesirable change in the physical, chemical or biological property which adversely affects its productivity Caused by dumping of wastes, agrochemicals and as indirect result of air pollution

• 
  Слайд 8

  Sources of Soil Pollution

  Domestic wastes Agricultural wastes Industrial wastes Excretory products Salination

• 
  Слайд 9

  Radioactive pollution

  Physical pollution that affects air, water and soil. Caused by ionizing radiations of harmful nature emitted from disintegrating atomic nuclei. The natural sources include cosmic rays that reaches the earth surface and radiations from radium 224, uranium 235 thorium 232 etc

• 
  Слайд 10

  Man made sources

  Nuclear weapons Reactors and Nuclear fuel Waste waters containing these wastes X-rays used in medical practices Ultra violet rays present in solar radiations

  Effects

  Mutation Cancer Radioactive substances in food chain cause retarded growth and bone cancer. Increases infant mortality rate

  Слайд 12

  Noise pollution

  Unwanted high pitch sound that pollutes the environment. Maximum tolerable intensity of sound is 85 decibels The main sources are automobiles, aero planes, loudspeakers, industries and other electro-mechanical devices.
