The Ozone layer is a special type of oxygen around

the earth. It protects the earth from ultaviolet


radition wich comes from sun
The Ozone layer refers
to a region of Earth's
stratosphere that
absorbs most of the
Sun's UV radiation


The ozone layer
contains less than
ten parts million of
ozone, while the
average ozone
concentration in
Earth's atmosphere
as a whole is only
about 0.6 parts
million



Aerosol sprays and other
chemicals destroy the
ozone layer .
They have helped to
make a huge hole it
Now to much ultraviolet
radition enters the
Earths atmosphere
through the hole
Ultraviolet radition
can cause skin
cancer
Is the introducion of
contaminations into
the natural
enviorment that
cause adverse
change.
Pollution can take
the form of
chemicials
substance or energy
, such as noise ,
heat or light
Air pollution is the introduction
of chemicals, particulates, biological materials, or other
harmful materials into the Earth's atmosphere, possibly
causing disease, death to humans, damage to other
living organisms
An air pollutant is a substance in the air that can have
adverse effects on humans and the ecosystem.


The substance can be
solid particles, liquid
droplets, or gases.
A pollutant can be of
natural origin or man
made.
Pollutants are classified
as primary or secondary
Primary pollutants are
usually produced from a
process, such as from a
volcanic eruption.
Secondary pollutants are
not emitted
directly Ground level
ozone is a prominent
example of a secondary
pollutant
Water pollution
Water pollution is the
contamination of water
bodies (lakes ,rivers,sea)


Water pollution affects
plants and organisms living
in these bodies of water.
Water pollution occurs
when pollutants are
directly or indirectly
discharged into water
bodies without treatment
to remove harmful
compounds.

The specific contaminants leading to pollution in
water include a wide spectrum of chemicals,
pathogens, and physical or sensory changes such as
elevated temperature and discoloration.

In almost all cases the effect is damaging not
only to individual species and populations, but
also to the natural biological communities.

Land pollution is the
deterioration
(destruction) of the
earths land surfaces,
often directly or
indirectly as a result of
mans activities and
their misuse of land
resources.
Solid Waste
These include all the various
kinds of rubbish we make at
home, school, hospitals, market
and work places.
Chemicals
Chemical and nuclear power
plants produce waste materials
that have to be stored
somewhere.
Deforestation
Humans depend on trees
for many things
including life. Trees
absorb carbon dioxide
from the air and enrich
the air with Oxygen,
which is needed for life.

Deforestation

What is deforestation?

Deforestation is when
humans remove or clear large
areas of forest lands
Trees are cut down
(deforestation) for many
reasons including
To be used, sold or exported
as timber
To be used for farming
purposes
To make room for human
