Industrial effluents Destroys ecosystem and effects human healthSources of water pollution: Sources of water pollution Community waste waters Industrial wastes Agricultural sources Under ground water pollution Marine pollution Thermal pollutionControl of water pollution: Control of water pollution Treatment of garbage and sewage. Chemical treatment. Reduction of temperature of waste water. Minimize the use of non - degradable pesticides. Proper enactment of laws by government.Soil pollution: 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 pollutionSources of Soil Pollution: Sources of Soil Pollution Domestic wastes Agricultural wastes Industrial wastes Excretory products SalinationControl of soil pollution: Control of soil pollution Proper disposal of industrial and agricultural wastes Recycling and recovery of materials Minimize the manufacture and use of chemical fertilizers Reduce the use of pesticidesRadioactive pollution: 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 etcMan made sources: 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 radiationsEffects: Effects Mutation Cancer Radioactive substances in food chain cause retarded growth and bone cancer. Increases infant mortality rateControl measures: Control measures Prevention of leakage of radioactive elements from nuclear reactors. Proper storage and disposal of nuclear wastes Regular monitoring Increasing the use of non harmful energy sourcesNoise pollution: 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.Effects of noise pollution: Effects of noise pollution Damage to ear drum and impairment to hearing. Damages heart, liver and brain Emotional disturbances and behavioral changes Leads to anxiety and stressControl measures: Control measures Design machines with minimum sound Proper lubrication maintenance of machines and installation of silencers. Use of sound absorbing materials Use of noise protective devicesSlide 20: Thermal Pollution The term thermal pollution has been used to indicate the detrimental effects of heated effluents discharged by various power plants.Slide 21: Causes of thermal pollution Nuclear power plants Coal fired power plants Industrial effluents Domestic sewageSlide 22: Control Measures Cooling towers Cooling ponds Artificial lakesSlide 23: Made By Ayush Agarwal Sanjeev Kumar Jitender Bharadwaj Manish Goyal You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
