OZONE LAYER
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 Earth’s atmosphere through the hole
Ultraviolet radition can cause skin cancer
WHAT DESTROYS THE OZONE LAYER ?
POLLUTION 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
Health effects of pollution
AIR POLLUTION 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 Land pollution is the
deterioration (destruction) of the earth’s land surfaces, often directly or indirectly as a result of man’s activities and their misuse of land resources.
There are different types of land pollution
Solid WasteThese include all the various kinds of rubbish we make at home, school, hospitals, market and work places.
ChemicalsChemical and nuclear power plants produce waste materials that have to be stored somewhere.
DeforestationHumans 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 includingTo be used, sold or exported as timber
To be used for farming purposes
To make room for human
