the environment as a result of human
activities. There are six types.
- Air Pollution
- The presence of any solid, liquid or gaseous
substance including noise and radioactive
radiation in the atmosphere that may be
injurious to living organisms
- Pollutants
- Suspended
particulate matter
- Smoke from
domestic, industrial
and vehicular soot
- Gaseous Pollutants
- Part of smoke released
from chimneys of
factories and power
plants
- Prevention
- Usage of cleaner
sources like biogas.
- Use devices of that
reduce release of
pollutants
- Employing
environmental
friendly industrial
processes
- Noise Pollution
- An irritant sound that is unvalued and
unwanted by the recipient
- Indoor sources
- Noise produced by
radio, TV, electric fans,
air coolers, even
family conflict
- Outdoor sources
- Indiscriminate use of
loudspeakers,
automobiles, rail traffic,
aeroplanes and public
activities.
- Prevention
- Better designing
and proper
maintenance of
vehicles
- Green belt of
trees absorbs
noise
- Sound proofing
equipment like
generators
- Water Pollution
- Addition of undesirable substances
in water
- Sources
- Pesticides and
fertilisers used in
agriculture
- Oil pollution from
leakage from ships,
oil tankers, etc,
- Discharge of
domestic
waste
- Prevention
- Sewage may
be treated to
make it safe

- Usage of
eco-friendly
dishwashers
- Recycling waste
water for certain
uses wit or with
our treatment
- Soil Pollution
- Addition of substances which the
quality of soil or its fertility
- Sources
- Plastic Bags made
from low density
polyethylene
- Fly ash, chemical
residues and
nuclear wastes
- Fertilizers
and
pesticides
- Prevention
- Indiscriminate disposal
of solid waste should be
avoided
- Stop the use of plastic bags
- Sewage should be
treated properly
before being used
- Thermal Pollution
- Discharge of hot water to water bodies
- Sources
- Waste heat from boilers
and heating processes
- Coal water plants
- Waste heat from power plants
- Prevention
- Allow the water to cool before
releasing it into any water
bodies.
- Radiation
Pollution
- Increase in over the natural background
radiation
- Sources
- Nuclear wastes from
nuclear power plants
- Radioactive minerals
- Cosmic rays
- Prevention
- Banning of
nuclear tests
- Perfect
maintenance of
nuclear reactors
- Care should be taken
to check manmade
radiation pollution at
source
- Pollutants
- Agents that cause environmental pollution.
They can be physical, biological or chemical
substances unintentionally released into the
environment with is harmful to humans and
