PROBLEM DEFINITION
AIR WATER SOIL
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
SMOKE GASES CHEMICAL AFFLUENT&
WASTES
FERTILIZERS PESTICIDES
BIO-NON DEGRADABLESUBSTANCE
• Causes diseases like asthma &
cancer
• Harms plants, animals, and the
ecosystems
• Causes acid rain and snow harmful
both man, animal and water and
plants
AIR POLLUTION
SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION
Pollution From Power Plants & Automobiles
* Automobile exhaust contains unburned hydro-carbons, particulates, carbon dioxide, and
oxides of nitrogen and sulphur that contribute to acid rain, smog, and global warming.
BURNING OF FUELS & HOUSEHOLD ACTIVITIES
Burning gas, coal, and oil puts into the
atmosphere carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur
dioxide, and tiny solid particles.
SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION
Indoor Air Pollution* Indoor pollutants include tobacco smoke;
radon, an invisible radioactive gas.
* Chemicals released from synthetic carpets
and furniture, pesticides, and household
cleaners.
* Indoor air levels of many pollutants may be
2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels
which is harmful to us.
* Inefficient or improperly vented heaters.
SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION
• The oxides combine with water vapour in the air
to form acids, which return to the ground as acid
rain.
• Acid RainsAcid Rains
• Forest DestructionForest Destruction
• Smog, a mixture of smoke (particulates) and fog,
irritates the eyes, throat, and lungs and also
damages plants.
• Ozone Layer Depletion
• Bhopal-India Gas Tragedy
• Asthma
EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION
A. Petroleum Products
B. Pesticides and Herbicides
C. Heavy Metals
D. Hazardous Wastes
E. Excess Organic Matter
F. Sediment
G. Infectious Organisms
H. Thermal Pollution
MAJOR TYPES OF WATER POLLUTANTS
WATER POLLUTION
* Pollutants from industrial sources may pour out from the outfall pipes of factories.
* Cities and other residential communities
contribute mostly sewage in water pollution.
* Pollutants from such agricultural sources as
farms, poultry farms contribute animal wastes,
and agricultural chemicals.
SOURCES OF WATER POLLUTION
* Soil pollution is a build-up of toxic chemical
compounds, and pathogens (disease-
causing organisms).
* Soil pollution has seriously degraded soil
quality, and enhanced erosion.
* Fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides
destroy useful organisms such as bacteria,
fungi, and other micro-organisms.
Soil Pollution
* TAKE OF OF PLANES* TOO MUCH ROCK MUSIC
* JACKHAMMER
* CAR HORNS* FREE WAY TRAFFIC* VACUUM CLEANER
* STREET TRAFFIC* AVERAGE LIVING ROOM
* WHISPERING * BREATHING
POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING TO HEARING
ANNOYING
ACCEPTABLE

-60 –
* Exposure of people or animals to levels of sound that are annoying, stressful, or damaging to the ears.
* Sound intensity is measured in units called
decibels.
* Automobiles, trucks, and aircraft. Construction
equipment, farm machines, and machinery
inside factories.
* Some home appliances, shop tools, and lawn-
mowers fire-crackers, and some toys.
* High volume music
* The engines of ships and off-shore oil
exploration and drilling are also noisy.

CAUSE & EFFECT DIAGRAM
STRATEGY - I
* Re-using paper and much domestic
waste.
* Not using cups and plates made of
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
* Educating rag-pickers who are the
carriers of pollution-causing products
STRATEGY - II
AFFORESTATION* Planting new trees and saplings.* Controlling the rate of deforestation in our home
gardens and schools.* Protecting forests by creating awareness.* Promoting wild life sanctuaries.* Donating money for maintenance of parks, orchards
and other natural resources.* Presenting our show case at various places to create
awareness on evil effects of environment pollution.* Using flower pots and earthen pots for growing plants
and flowers in case we don’t have garden in our homes.
* Not encouraging purchase of goods made of wood.
STRATEGY - IIIBANNING POLYTHENES
* Say no to polythene-the enemy of our
environment.
* Raising campaigns against the use of
Polythene
* Using other alternative sources like
paper bags or other degradable
material instead of polythene .
STRATEGY - IV
CHANGE IN ATTITUDE TOWARDS OUR ENVIRONMENT
* Promoting flora and fauna in our vicinity
* Minimizing pollution by home appliances.
* Getting our vehicles/mopeds regularly
checked so that their emission must be in the
permissible limits and they should be non-
polluting vehicles.
* Avoid burning fossil fuels or other fuels.
STRATEGY - V
* Avoiding high-sound music and sound.
* Avoiding continuous persistent blaring
of our vehicle horns while driving.
* Creating awareness regarding the
hazards of Noise Pollution.
* Discourage DJ Culture, dance and
higher decibel creating music parties.
COMBATING NOISE POLLUTION
STRATEGY - VI
COMBATING WATER POLLUTION* Keep the water masses near our home like
rivers, ponds, lakes clean.
* Avoid throwing any garbage like polybags,
etc. into the river water.
* Wage a campaign for cleaning of river water
near our habitat.
* Proper sewage system.
* ANALYTICAL AND SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
* TEAM SPIRIT
* BETTER TIME MANAGEMENT.
* DEVELOPED ORATORY SKILL
* MORE SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY
* GLOBAL VISION
* ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN BOTH
CURRICULAR AND EXTRA CURRICULAR
ACTIVITIES
