 DEFINITION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION:-
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION is defined as
the undesirable change in physical,
chemical and biological characteristics of
our air, water and noise. Pollution can be
natural or man-maid. The agents or
substances that cause such changes are
termed pollutants.
 TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION:-
• AIR POLLUTION
• WATER POLLUTION
• NOISE POLLUTION

THE DESCRIPTION OF THESE TYPES

OF POLLUTION ARE AS:
 AIR POLLUTION
You already know that, air is mainly a
mixture of various gases such as oxygen,
carbon dioxide, nitrogen. These are present
in a particular ratio. Whenever there is any
imbalance in the ratio of these gases, air
pollution is caused.
 HARMFUL EFFECTS OF AIR
POLLUTION
• Air pollution affects respiratory system of
living organisms and causes bronchitis,
asthma, lung cancer, pneumonia etc.
• Due to depletion of ozone layer, UV
radiation reaches the earth. UV radiation
causes skin cancer, damage to eyes and
immune system.
• Acid rain is also a result of air pollution.
This is caused by presence of oxides of
nitrogen and sulphur in the air.
• The green house gases, such as CO2 and
Methane,which are produced by burning of
fossil fuel, agricultural activities and
deforestation, trap the heat radiated from
 STEPS FOR REDUCING AIR
POLLUTION:
• By planting more trees.
• By using alternative sources of
energy.
• By using catalytic operators in
vehicles.
• By using high chimneys in houses
and factories .
• By using electric furnaces in factories
and power house.
 WATER POLLUTION
Water is said to be polluted when
there is any physical, biological or
chemical change in water quality
that adversely affects living
organisms or makes water
unsuitable for use.
HARMFUL EFFECTS OF WATER
POLLUTION
• Polluted water spreads diseases such
as CHOLERA,TYPHOID,JAUNDICE etc.

• The Aquatic life destroys in polluted

water.
STEPS FOR REDUCING WATER
POLLUTION
• Do not waste water and use water
judiously.
• Stop deforestation for maintaining
water cycle.
• By reforestation.
• By building dams and tanks in lower
areas to prevent water blocking.
• By harvesting of rain water.
 NOISE POLLUTION
The unwanted voice which
is not soft and harmonious,
is known as NOISE. The
presence of loud voice is
only NOISE POLLUTION.
 HARMFUL EFFECTS OF NOISE
POLLUTION
• The worst effect of noise pollution is
Deafness.
• It raises the heart beat.
• It also effects pupil of eyes, thus
causing Night Blindness or Colour
Blindness.
 STEPS FOR REDUCING NOISE
POLLUTION
• All vehicles should move without blowing
horn too many times.
• Use of loud – speakers should not be
allowed hear the schools and hospitals .
• Airport must be constructed sufficiently
away from the cities.
If we follow all these measures. We will
certainly reduce noise pollution.
Any kinds of pollution has its bad effects,
so, pollution should be controlled.
