Living in Harmony: Environmental Pollution

The process of making our surroundings unclean by adding harmful substances to soil, water, air, and land.

When harmful substances like chemicals contaminate water bodies.

Factory and household waste that is improperly disposed of into water sources.

The excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, leading to contamination of water and soil, damaging land fertility.

It's caused by garbage, industrial waste, and plastic bags, which don't decompose easily.

It can cause diseases like dysentery, typhoid, and cholera. It also harms marine life.

Protecting our environment means reducing pollution, conserving resources, and preserving biodiversity.

The release of harmful substances into the air, often from human activities like burning fossil fuels and industrial processes.

Gases and particles released into the atmosphere, mainly from burning fossil fuels, that contribute to air pollution.

Burning of crop residues, often after harvest, releases pollutants into the air, contributing to air pollution, especially in agricultural areas.

A mixture of smoke and fog, often caused by air pollution, which can reduce visibility and cause respiratory problems.

An increase in the Earth's average temperature, primarily caused by the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Air pollution contributes to this.

Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Some air pollutants act as greenhouse gases.

A major source of air pollution in cities, caused by the emissions from vehicles.

Factories and industries often release pollutants into the air as a byproduct of their operations.

A condition where the air is too polluted, causing respiratory problems and other health issues.

Substances that can trigger allergic reactions or respiratory problems, such as pollen grains.

Noise pollution occurs when loud and unpleasant sounds disrupt the normal activities of humans and animals.

Vehicle horns, running trains, and loud music are all examples of noise pollution.

Exposure to noise pollution can cause hearing loss, high blood pressure, sleep problems, and stress.

The three Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – are crucial for protecting the environment. Reducing our consumption helps prevent waste generation. Reusing items extends their lifespan. Recycling allows us to turn waste into new products.

Keeping our surroundings clean is vital for environmental protection. Disposing of waste properly, cleaning up litter, and avoiding pollution are important actions.

Excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides in farming can hurt the land by polluting water and soil.

Garbage and industrial waste can pollute land, making it harder to grow food or live healthy lives.

Protecting our environment means preventing pollution, saving resources, and keeping nature healthy.

Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Some air pollutants act as these gases.

A major source of air pollution in cities, caused by the emissions from vehicles. Burning fossil fuels in cars and trucks releases harmful gases into the air.

Factories and industries often release pollutants into the air as a byproduct of their operations. They can release gases and particles during production processes.

The practice of burning crop remains after harvest, often done to clear land or dispose of residues. This releases pollutants into the air, contributing to air pollution, especially in agricultural areas.

Rapid urbanisation, increased vehicle use, industrial activities, and construction can all contribute to air pollution. These factors often lead to a higher concentration of pollutants in cities.

It can cause respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, and lung infections. Also, eye irritation, headaches, skin allergies and even damage to your lungs.

Reduce your reliance on cars, use public transportation, cycle, or walk. Encourage the use of renewable energy sources, and support policies that promote clean air initiatives.

Caused by improper waste disposal, overuse of fertilizers and pesticides, and plastic waste, leading to contaminated soil and water.

Involves protecting our natural environment through actions like reducing pollution, conserving resources, and protecting wildlife.

The process of adding harmful substances to the environment, making it dirty.

Contaminating water bodies with harmful chemicals and other substances, often caused by factory and household waste, oil spills, and natural events.

The overuse of fertilizers and pesticides in farming, polluting soil and water and harming land fertility.

The release of loud and unpleasant sounds that disrupt the normal activities of humans and animals.
