TYP ES OF POL LUTI ON

There are 6 (six) types of pollution that are going

to be discussed namely
 Air Pollution
 Water Pollution
 Land Pollution
 Noise Pollution
 Radioactive Pollution
 Thermal Pollution
1.Air Pollution

Air pollution is indication of disturbances to the

composition of compounds in the atmosphere, as it may
be summarized as shown:
 Excess emission of gases/vapors into atmosphere
 Saturation of chemical compounds/particulates
 Rate of dissipation < (smaller than) rate of absorption
through various cycles (i.e. Carbon and nitrogen
cycle)
 Emergence of new chemical reactions of reactive and
non-biodegradable compounds.
 Global warming, acid rain, smog, ozone depletion are
some effects of air pollution.
2.Water Pollution
 Water pollution is contamination of water
by foreign matter that deteriorates the
quality of the water. Water pollution
covers pollutions in liquid forms like
ocean pollution and river pollution. As the
term applies, liquid pollution occurs in the
oceans, lakes, rivers, underground water
and bays, in short liquid-containing
areas.
3.Land Pollution

 Revered to as soil pollution, land pollution

involves the following mechanism:
 Deposition of solid waste
 Accumulation of non-biodegradable materials
 Toxification of chemicals into poisons
 Alteration of soil chemical composition
(imbalance of chemical equilibrium to soil
medium)
4.Noise Pollution

This particular pollution is ever increasing with due to

the rise in the utilization of heavy duty machineries of
industrial facilities and vehicles, synonymous to the
increase in the standard of living in most countries. We
make sounds practically every seconds of our day, but
to the extend it has reached an unfavorable high
intensity which had cause many disturbances and
irritation to others emotionally that has adverse effects
on our daily activities.
5.Th ermal Po llu tion
This has become an increasing and the most current pollution, owing
to the increasing call of globalization everywhere. Heat produced
from industries is a major contribution to the pollution, much to the
operation of the heavy industries which produces high amount of
heat
energy. As we will show a summary to the event of this pollution
happening:
 Raw materials for productivity (organic and inorganic products)
 Undergo different chemical reactions with several process
 Excess heat energy is produced as a waste product
 Heat is released through into atmosphere (vapor) and riverine
system (liquid).
 Increase of temperature of environmental system
6.Ra dio active Po ll utio n
There are commonly three types of radiation, namely:
 Alpha particles, can be blocked by a piece of paper and human
skin.
 Beta particles can penetrate through skin, while can be blocked by
some pieces of glass and metal.
 Gamma rays can penetrate easily to human skin and damage
cells on its way through, reaching far, and can only be blocked by
a very thick, strong, massive piece of concrete.
We can classify major sources that lead to radioactive pollution to the
following categories:
 nuclear power plants
 nuclear weapon
 transportation
 disposal of nuclear waste
 uranium mining
