SYNOPSIS

THE MOST DISASTROUS AFFAIR ALARMING

CURRENTLY IS “GLOBAL WARMING” DUE TO

SEVERE ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION.“PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE ’’

SHOULD BE THE ONLY SLOGAN AND SHOULD

CREATE AWARNESS IN EACH INDUSTRIALIST’S

MIND OVER THE WORLD .  IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMMES,

PLANTING OF NEW TREES IN LAKHS, FOCUSSING

ON GREEN REVOLUTIONARY SCHEMES ARE

ESSENTIAL. USE WEAPONS FOR

CONSTRUCTION AND AVOID USING FOR

DESTRUCTION.

POLLUTION LEADS TO TRAGEDY.PREVENTION LEADS TO SAFETY.

Introduction

Pollution, contamination of Earth’s environment

with materials that interfere with human health,

The quality of life, or the natural functioning of ecosystems (living organisms and their physical

surroundings). Although some environmental

pollution is a result of natural causes such as

volcanic eruptions, most is caused by human activities.

There are two main categories of polluting materials, or pollutants.Biodegradable pollutants are materials, such as sewage, that

rapidly decompose by natural processes. These pollutants

become a problem when added to the environment faster than

they can decompose (see Sewage Disposal). Non bio-degradable pollutants are materials that either do not decompose or 

decompose slowly in the natural environment. Once

contamination occurs, it is difficult or impossible to remove these

pollutants from the environment.

PREVENTION

Using Battery operated VehiclesSet up Emission control plantsUse pollution control equipment

in industriesKeep motor vehicles in good condition to

reduce fumes

Use bicycles, public transport or electricalvehicles

whenever possible.

PREVENTION

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/polluton 25/26

 

Utilizing light sources of minimum

intensity is necessary to accomplishthe light's purpose. Turning lights off using a

timer or occupancy sensor or manually when

not needed. Improving lighting fixtures, so that they direct

their light more accurately towards where it is

needed, and with less side effects. Adjusting the type of lights used, so that the

light waves emitted are those that are less likely

to cause severe light pollution problems.
