Presentation transcript:

Environmental Pollution

OUR ENVIRONMENT The air, water, minerals, organisms, and all other external factors surrounding and affecting a given organism at any time.

POLLUTION What’s that?? The introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment.

TYPES OF POLLUTION

1. AIR POLLUTION Contamination of air by smoke and harmful gases, mainly oxides of carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen.

2. LAND POLLUTION Pollution of Earth’s natural land surfaces by industrial, commercial, domestic, and agricultural activities.

3. WATER POLLUTION The addition of harmful chemicals to natural water.

4. CHEMICAL POLLUTION Harmful chemicals released into Earth’s air or water. Chemical pollution is caused mostly by people.

Pollution Percentage Breakdown

SO2 = sulfur dioxide (gas – used to make sulfuric acid which preserves fruits & vegetables and for bleaching, disinfecting, fumigating) NOx = nitric oxide/nitrogen dioxide (produced from the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen gases in the air during combustion, especially at high temperatures. Worse in areas of high motor vehicle traffic, such as in large cities)

Environmental Words to Know!!

Involving or exposing one to risk. 1. Hazardous: Involving or exposing one to risk.

2. Toxic Containing or being poisonous material, especially when capable of causing death or serious injury.

Related to or used in the buying and selling of goods and services. 4. Commercial Related to or used in the buying and selling of goods and services.

Relating to, or used in farming. 5. Agricultural Relating to, or used in farming.

An individual living thing. 6. Organism An individual living thing.

7. Nuclear Producing, or using energy that is created when atoms are split apart or joined together.

The act of burning usually from a chemical process. 8. Combustion The act of burning usually from a chemical process.
