1/20


2/20

Acid Rain

Air Pollution

Global Warming Hazardous Waste

Ozone Depletion

Smog Water Pollution

Overpopulation

Rain Forest Destruction


3/20

Acid Rain

Causes- Sulfur dioxide and Nitrogen

Oxides.Sulfur dioxide- Power plants that use coal

as their flue.

Nitrogen Oxides- Automobiles, Fires,volcanic eruption, bacterialdecomposition and Lightening.


4/20

Effects-1. Bodies of water, such as lakes and rivers, see many of

their inhabitants die off due to rising acidity levels.

2. Acidic water also ruins plant nutrients, hurting plants

ability to survive.

3. Many ecosystem are affected by acid rain.

Solution-

1. They can use coal with low sulfur content.

2. they can remove the sulfur from smoke their plants

release.

3. Tradable Emission Permit.


5/20

Air Pollution

Causes- Nitrogen Oxides, Carbon

Monoxide and organic CompoundNatural Causes- Forest fires, volcanic

eruption, wind erosion, pollen dispersal,

evaporation of organic compound andradioactivity.


6/20

Effects

1. Heart and lung disorders.

2. They can kill plant and trees by destroying their leaves.

3. Can kill animals especially fish.

Solutions-There are main two types of pollutioncontrol.

1. Input control- its involve preventing a problem before

it occur or at lest limiting the effects the process willproduce.

2. Output Control- this usually means cleaning up an

area that has been damaged by pollution.


7/20

Global Warming

Causes-include overpopulation, Deforestation,

Ozone depletion, garbage dumping, and manyothers.

Effects-

1. The climate change.

2. Polar icecaps would melt.3. The rise in sea levels.

4. Flooding would occur.

5. Islands would disappear.


8/20

Solution1. Raising fossil fuel price.

2. Taxing emissions.3. Encouraging people to take environmentally

friendly action through such activities as plantingtrees will all help.

4. Family planning services.


9/20

Hazardous Waste-Causes- Individuals and Industrialization.

Effects- Human Health and Environment.Solution- Controlled through input and output

controls.

1. Landfill.


10/20

Ozone Depletion

Causes- Chorofluorocarbons- used in refrigerator, homeinsulation, plastic foam, throwaway food containers.

Effects-1. More ultraviolet light from the sun can reach the earth.

2. It can causes skin cancer.

3. Cataracts can also be expected.4. Disrupting the food chain.

5. Climate could be affected.

6. Ocean will be hit hard as well.


11/20

Solution-

Natural resources Defense Council.


12/20

Smog

Causes- carbon monoxide, dirt, soot, dust

and ozone.Automobile, fires, waste treatment, oil

production, industrial solvents, paints and

coatings, gas station.


13/20

Effects- Human body- lung cancer, chestpain, coughing and throat irritation,

pneumonia, asthma attacks. Environment effect- harming ecosystem.

Soybeans, wheat, tomatoes, peanutsand cotton are all subject to infectionwhen exposed to smog.


14/20

Solution-Many communities and their governmentare attempting to restrict usage of dangerousproduct such as barbecues, house paint, and

kitchen cleaners.They decide to require carpooling, offer free bus

services and create many environmentally- friendlyregulation for homes.

To find less harmful alternatives for many smogproducing processes.


15/20

Water Pollution

Causes- Sewage, sludge, garbage and even toxic

pollutants are all dumped into the water.Effects-

It kills life that inhabits water based ecosystem.

Pollution disrupts the natural food chain as well.


16/20

Solution-

1. Being carry out in an effort to clean up

the water.2. To reduce the amount of chemicals

they dump into water.

3. Environmental groups are participatingin cleanup project.


17/20

Over Population

Causes-1.

Decline in the death rate2. Rise in the birth rate

3. Migration

4. Lack of education

Effects-Air, water, land pollution, ozone depleting, global

warming, dying forest, species extinction, meltingglaciers, rising sea levels, climate change andmore rapid spread of diseases.


18/20

Solution-Population Growth should be control.


19/20

Rain Forest Destruction.

Causes-

1. Logging

2. Agriculture- Shifted Cultivators3. Cattle Ranching

4. Fuel wood

5. Large dams

6. Mining and Industry

7. Colonization Schemes

8. Tourism


20/20

Effects-

1. Effects on Biodiversity

2. Climate Change.

Solution-1. Awareness in Forest people.

2. Minimize destructive Project

3. Curbing Waste and overconsumption of Timberproduct.

4. Ending all imports of tropical timber.

5. Cut down on the consumption of imported beef.

6. Sustainable live hoods.
