AIR POLLUTION
Air pollutionis the introduction of chemicals,
particulates or biological molecules intoEarth's
atmosphere thereby causing diseases, death to
humans, damage to other living organisms such as
food crops, or thenaturalorbuilt environment.

rainis

form
ofprecipitationthat is unusuallyacidic, meaning that
it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions (lowpH).
It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals
and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions
ofsulphur dioxideandnitrogen oxide, which react with
thewater moleculesin theatmosphereto produce
acids.

VENTURI SCRUBBER
EVS_Mod3_EnvPoll_AirPoll_AIKTC_R
VENTURI SCRUBBER
Aventuri scrubberis designed to effectively use the energy from the inlet
gas stream to atomize the liquid being used to scrub the gas stream.
This type of technology is a part of the group ofair pollutioncontrols
collectively referred to aswet scrubbers.
Venturidevices have also been used for over 100 years to measure fluid
flow (Venturi tubesderived their name fromGiovanni Battista Venturi, an
Italian physicist).
About 35 years ago, Johnstone (1949) and other researchers found that
they could effectively use the venturi configuration to remove particles from
gas streams.

NUCLEAR POLLUTION
Nuclear pollution is pollution that contains radioactive
elements.
Nuclear pollution may be in the air, water or on land.
TheFukushima
Daiichi
nuclear
disaster
was
a
nuclearenergy
accidentat
theFukushima
I
Nuclear Power Plant
inFukushima,
initiated
primarily by thetsunami
following
theThoku
earthquakeon
11th
March 2011.
Immediately after the
earthquake, the active
Severalhydrogen-airchemical
explosions
occurred between 12 March and 15 March.
The Fukushima disaster is the largest nuclear
disaster since the 1986Chernobyl disasterand the
second disaster to be given the Level 7 event
classification of theInternational Nuclear Event
Scale.
Though there have been nofatalities linked to
radiationdue to the accident, the eventual number of
cancer deaths caused by the accident is expected to
be around 130-640 people in the years and decades
ahead.
