AIR POLLUTION
Definition:
An atmospheric condition in which certain substances present in
concentration effects humans
Air pollution

IN DOOR POLLUTION

THERMAL POWER PLANTS

VECHULAR EMISSION
FOSSIL FUELS
AUTO MOBILES
FERTILISERS
TEXTILE MILES
REFINERIES

MANY HOSES USE FULES LIKE COAL,DUNGS CAKES,WOOD,KEROSENE

CIGARETTE SMOKING
MUSIC SYSTEMS
RADON GAS IS EMMTED FROM BUILDINGS LIKE CONCRETE BRICKS TILES

SOIL POLLUTION
Soil is a thin covering of land soils are arranged in series of zones called
as horizons which are divided into four horizons they are
O-horizon
A horizon
B-horizon
C-horizon

CAUSES :
Winds, flowing water
Human actives such as farming, construction, overgrazing and
deforestation

SOIL POLLUTION
CONSERVATION MEASURES:
Area treatment
drainage treatment,
live check dams,
Bund construction across the streams

Thermal pollution
Definition:
Discharge of warm water into river is usually called thermal pollution
CAUSES:
By Industries
Power Plants
CONTROL MEASURES:
COLLING TOWERS
TO CONSTRUCT LARGE SHALLOW POND
DISADVANTEGES IN BOTH THE METHODSARE LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER
IS LOST DUE TO EVAPORATION

ACID RAINS
ACID RAINS

DEFINITON

WHEN FOSSIL FUELS

ARE BURNED CHEMICALS
REACT TO
FORM ACIDS AND REACH
THE GROUND IN FORM OF
ACID RAINS

CAUSES

EFFECTS

ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE
ACID DEPOSITION ON EARTH
IT DISSOLVES AND &WASHES AWAY NUTRIENTS
IN SOIL BY DISSOLVING TOXIC SUBSTANCE
RIVERS BECAME ACIDIC
EFFECTS PLANTS AND ANIMALS IN ECOSYSTEM
DESTROYING HISTROCIAL BUILDING-TAJ MAHAL
