The natural atmosphere is being polluted due to the unnatural factors. Humans cause more pollution than the environmental causes like a volcanic eruption. It is the reckless and the caustic human nature that is primarily responsible for the environmental pollution.

An environment consists of all the things like the living and the non living things in it. It can be classified as natural environment and Built environment. One has to keep some points in mind while writing an environment essay. One can define the natural environment as something that has been in existence for long and the built is the one that has been created by man. The natural atmosphere is being polluted due to the unnatural factors. Humans cause more pollution than the environmental causes like a volcanic eruption. It is the reckless and the caustic human nature that is primarily responsible for the environmental pollution. Most of the people are responsible for the pollution caused to the environment for their own personal motives. write up on Environment must essentially have the causes that affect the ecosystem. It is very difficult for the humans to accept any change from the environment they are born and live in. The Environment built by humans has become more noteworthy than the natural ones in to days times. The primary reasons for issues like Global warming Land degradation pollution etc are due the great dangers faced by everyone as a result of the negligence.

Major Problems Faced By Environment

Pollution

Air Pollution

Water Pollution

Noise Pollution

Page 3: Environment Pollution

An average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere near the Earth’s surface and in the troposphere1, which can contribute to changes in global climate patterns.

Global Warming

Page 4: Environment Pollution

Causes

Burning of fossil fuels (Coal/Crude oil)

Power plants generate electricity

Industrial processes (E.g. manufacture of cement, steel, aluminum)

Other greenhouse gases emission

AgricultureForestryOther land usesWaste management

Page 5: Environment Pollution

Example : Using natural gas to cook

CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2OBesides carbon

dioxide, other

gases such as

methane, chlorofluorocarbon

s, nitrogen oxides

and ozone also

contribute to the

greenhouse effect.

Environmental and Human Effects

Page 8: Environment Pollution

Climate-sensitive diseases

•Increase the risk of some infectious diseases[particularly that appear in warm areas; are spread by mosquitoes and other insects]E.g. Malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, encephalitis

•Algal blooms occur more frequently as temperatures warm (particularly in areas with polluted waters) Diseases (e.g. cholera) accompanying algal blooms become more frequent

Page 9: Environment Pollution

Air Quality

An increase in the concentration of

ground-level ozone

Damage lung tissue

Harmful for those with asthma and other

chronic lung diseases

Page 10: Environment Pollution

Measures on controlling the problem

Government

* Set some laws to limit the amount of pollutants produced by factories * Develop the skills of using renewable fuels, e.g. solar energy, wind energy

Page 11: Environment Pollution

Measures on controlling the problem

Citizens

* Reduce the use of plastic bags as burning plastic emit CH4 * Recycle the resources, e.g. plastic

* Reduce the use of sprays → as CFCs would be emitted out

DEFINITION OF POLLUTION

•When Harmful Substances Contaminate the Environment it is Called Pollution.•Pollution refers to the very bad condition of environment in terms of quantity and quality.

Page 13: Environment Pollution

What is Atmosphere

Atmosphere is the life blanket of Earth.

It is therefore essential that we know more about the atmosphere and the ways in which it is Polluted.

Page 14: Environment Pollution

Air PollutionCauses of Air Pollution

Major sources of Air Pollution

- Industries, Automobiles and Domestic fuels

-High Proportion of undesirable gases, such as sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide

Effects of Air Pollution

-Human health

-Animals

-Plants

-The atmosphere as a whole

Water PollutionCauses of Water Pollution•About 40% of Deaths worldwide are caused by Water Pollution.•Water Pollution is Caused by organic and inorganic industrial wastes and affluent discharged into rivers.•Noise also causes anxiety stress reaction and fright.

Effects of Water Pollution•Diseases like Cholera•Malaria•Typhoid (spread during the rainy season )Aquatic life gets destroyed

Page 16: Environment Pollution

Noise Pollution

Causes of Noise Pollution•Traffic Noise•Air craft Noise•Noise from construction and civil engineering works.•Noise from the Industries.•Noise from other sources.

Effects of Noise Pollution•Hearing Loss•High Blood Pressure•Stress•Sleep Disturbance•Colour Blindness

Message

Dear friends our earth is in very bad conditions we need to save our earth for this we have to joint together and start avoiding plastic bags, loudspeakers and all the materials which cause pollution. If we start doing this and advice peoples to do this it will help to us and to our future generation also otherwise in future we need to carry Oxygen cylinder for survival………
