POLLUTION PRESENTATION

POLLUTION

"Have you ever seen.........?"

What is pollution?

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat, or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants.

CAUSE 1

*Marine Dumping The process of marine dumping is exactly what it sounds like, dumping garbage into the waters of the ocean. It might seem crazy, but household garbage is still collected and dumped into oceans by many countries across the world. Most of these items can take anywhere from two to 200 years to decompose completely.

CAUSES

CAUSE 1. 1

Industrial Waste Industries and industrial sites across the world are a major contributor to water pollution. Many industrial sites produce waste in the form of toxic chemicals and pollutants, and though regulated, some still do not have proper waste management systems in place. In those rare cases, industrial waste is dumped into nearby freshwater systems. When industrial waste is not treated properly (or worse, not treated at all), it can very easily pollute the freshwater systems that it comes into contact with.

Wildlife Extinction

Reduced Oxygen

Wildlife Extinction is a major effect of industrial waste. For example, due to oil spills into the water bodies, radioactive materials leakage, fire, etc. aquatic as well as non-aquatic animals died and reached the verge of extinction.

Reduced Oxygen in the Ocean Many marine creatures rely on oxygen to stay alive. But the oxygen level in the ocean can be reduced as it is being replaced by garbage. The waste is bringing down the quality of the ocean water. This affects the availability of the oxygen that marine creatures can get.
