Types of Environmental Pollutions

Sound Pollution Man-made-noises-from machines automobiles, trains, planes, explosives and firecrackers, etc-are more contentious. Noise is an inescapable by-product of the industrial environment, which is increasing with advances in industrialization and urbanization. v Air Pollution Modernization and progress have led to air getting more and more polluted over the years. The industries like thermal power plants, cement, steel, and mines are among these that emit a great deal of pollutants into the 3/19/13 air.

Global Warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are getting more frequent.

How the GLOBAL WARMING will happens?

A combination of light and heat energy from the sun reaches Earth and warms the land, oceans and air. When Earths surface warms up, it radiates heat which rises towards the sky. A few gases in the atmosphere called the greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane etc.) absorb this heat and prevent it from escaping into space, thus warming happens. 3/19/13

CAUSES

Carbon dioxide from power plants. Carbon dioxide emitted from cars. Carbon dioxide from airplanes. Deforestation. Large use of electricity.

How to prevent the Global Warming

Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb. Plant a tree. Reuse your shopping bags.
