Noise pollution
Types of pollution
Thermal pollution
Del: sudden change in natural water temperature
Sources: Nuclear power plants and industrial cooling.
Effect on Ecosystem: Disrupt the natural temperature balance and biological clocks of aquatic species.
Control and prevention: Using cooling ponds and switching to clean, alternative energy sources.
-
Air pollution
Del: Harmful gases and dust degrading air quality.
Sources: Factory smoke, car exhaust and burning fuel.
Control and prevention: Planting more trees (Afforestation) and using Electric vehicles of solar energy.
Effects on animals: causes respiratory diseases, lung infections and breathing difficulties in wildlife.
Effects on Ecosystem: Leads to global warming, Acid rain and depletion of the ozone layer.
Soil Pollution
Del: Degradation due to the chemical waste.
Sources: Plastic, pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
-
Del: Harmful levels of sound disrupting the environment.
Sources: Traffic horns, construction and heavy machines.
Effects on Ecosystem: Disrupts wildlife migration patterns and bird nesting behaviors in the environment.
Effects on animals: Causes hearing loss, extreme stress and interfere with animal communication and breeding.
Control and prevention: Installing sound barriers and implementing strict government laws for industrial zones.
Water pollution
Del: Toxic substances contaminating rivers and oceans.
Sources: Industrial waste, sewage and oil spills.
-
-
Control and prevention: using organic fertilizer and following the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)
-
Effect on animals: Causes loss of natural habitats and poisoning of land animals through contaminated food.
-
Control and prevention: Installing waste water treatment plants and banning plastic dumping in water bodies.
-
Effects on animals: leads to the death of marine life and poisons aquatic food chain through bio magnification.
