Air Pollution
The major
sources of air

MOBILE SOURCES – SUCH AS CARS,
BUSES, PLANES, TRUCKS, AND
TRAINS
STATIONARY SOURCES – SUCH AS
POWER PLANTS, OIL REFINERIES,
INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES, AND
FACTORIES
AREA SOURCES – SUCH AS
AGRICULTURAL AREAS, CITIES, AND
WOOD BURNING FIREPLACES
Effects on the environment
Acid rain
Global warming
Respiratory problem,
allergies and a risk of
cancer.
Some ways to lower air pollutions ?
Carpooling
Walking or ride
a bicycle
Save energy
Best policies to reduce air pollution
MOVING FROM COAL AND GAS POWER
STATIONS AND DIESEL GENERATORS TO
SOLAR, WIND AND HYDROPOWER
PRIORITISE WALKING, CYCLING AND PUBLIC
TRANSPORT OVER CARS IN URBAN AREAS
AND SHIFT TO ELECTRIC CARS
IMPROVE THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF
HOMES TO REDUCE HEATING NEEDS AND
AVOID COAL AND WOOD BURNING INSIDE
land pollution
Land pollution is the destruction of the earth’s land surfaces,
often directly or indirectly as a result of human activities and
their misuse of land resource.
Types of land pollution
Solid waste
Pesticides and fertilizer
Chemicals
Deforestation
Solid waste
These include all various kinds of rubbish make at home,
school, hospitals, market and workplaces.
Things like paper, plastic containers, bottles, cans, food
and even used cars and broken electronic goods, broken
furniture and hospital waste are all examples of solid
waste.
Pesticide and
fertilizer
Many farming activities engage in the application of
fertilizer, pesticide and insecticides for higher crop yield.
This is good because we get more food.
But can you think of what happens to the chemicals that
are used on the crops and soils?
Chemicals
Deforestation
Chemicals and nuclear power plants produce waste
materials that have to be stored somewhere.
Fertilizer, insecticides, pesticides, pharmaceuticals
manufacturers. Also produce lots of solid and liquid
waste.
Humans depend on trees for many things including
life, Trees absorb carbon dioxide( a green house gas)
from the air and enrich the air with oxygen, which is
needed for life. Trees provide wood for humans and a
habitat for many land animals, insects and birds.
Soil pollution
effects of land
pollution
Change in climate patterns
Effect on human health
Solutions for Land Pollution
MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THE
CONCEPT OF REDUCE,
RECYCLE AND REUSE
REDUCE THE USE OF
PESTICIDES AND FERTILIZERS
IN AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES.
AVOID BUYING PACKAGES
ITEMS AS THEY WILL LEAD TO
GARBAGE AND END UP IN THE
LANDFILL SITE.
ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT
LITTER ON THE GROUND AND
DO PROPER DISPOSAL OF
GARBAGE.
BUY BIODEGRADABLE
PRODUCTS.
Water Pollution
The sources of water pollution
Sewage and wastewater
Agricultural
Oil spils pollution
effects of water pollution
Death of aquatic
(water) animals
Disruption of foodchains
Destruction of
ecosystems
Diseases
Some ways to
lower water
pollutions ?
Reduce your plastic
consumption
properly dispose of
chemical cleaners,
Maintain your car so it
doesn’t leak oil, antifreeze,
or coolant.
