POLLUTION
The introduction of harmful materials into the environment that damage the ecosystem
Types of pollution
Thermal pollution
Air pollution
Noise pollution
Effect on ecosystem: Disrupt wildlife migration pattern and bird nesting behaviour in the environment
Control and prevention:
Barriers and implementing laws for industrial
Effect on animals:cause hearing loss, extreme stress
Water pollution
Effect on ecosystem:Destroys coral reefs and disrupt the natural balance of aquatics habitat
Effects on animals:leads to the death of marine life and poisons aquatics food chain through bio magnification
Control and prevention: installing waste water treatment plant and banning plastic dumping in water bodies
Def: toxic substances contaminating rivers and oceans
Sources: industrial wastes, sewage, and oil spils
Soil pollution
Def: harmful level of sound distribution the environment
Source: traffic horns, construction, and heavy machine
Def: degradation of land due to chemical waste
Source: plastic, pesticides
Effect on ecosystem: Reduces land fertility and damage the underground biodiversity of the soil
Effect on animals: Reduce oxygen level in water leading to the suffocation and death of fish
Effect on ecosystem: Disrupt the natural temperature balance and biological clocks of aquatics specis
Control and prevention: using cooling ponds and switching to clean, alternative energy sources
Def: sudden change in natural water temperature
Source: nuclear power plant and industrial cooling
Effects on ecosystem: Leads to Global warming, Acid rain
Effects on animals: causes respiratory disease, lungs infection
Def: harmful gases and dust degrading air quality
Source: factory smoke, and burning fuel
Control and prevention: planting more trees and using electrical vehicles
Control and prevention: using organic fertilizer
