Soil pollution
It is defined as the presence of toxic chemical (e.g. fertilizing)
What Causes Soil Pollution?
- Foundry activities and Manufacturing process (e.g. the possible dispersion of contaminants in the environment)
- Accidental spills and leaks (e.g. leaks and spills of chemicals on the ground cause damage to the soil)
- Mining Activities (crushing and processing of raw materials, for instance heavy metals (e.g. iron are)
- Agricultural activities (the diffusion of herbicides, pesticides, inseofficides and fertilizers
- Transportation Activities (releasing toxic vehicle emissions)
- Chemical waste activities( illegal or accidental dumping)
How do we reduce?
- Awareness campaign
- Billboards for information
- Organic farming
- Workshops on dangers to the soil
Endanger of Soil Pollution
Affects :
- Animals – They Die
- Health of the People
- Plants won’t grow
Air Pollution
- Smoke
- Heat
- Wind
- Burning fossils
- Farming chemicals
Solutions
- Reducing energy consumptions
- The use of electricity (less electricity)
Action plan
Raise awareness causes about air pollution, Teach people to keep our environment clean Gods creation.
Causes of soil pollution
- Improper disposal of waste
- Household waste e.g. Baby diapers, plastics, bottle
- Industrial activities
- Mining wastes such as oil, harmful chemicals
- Agricultural activities
- Fertilisers, Pesticides
- Impacts of Soil pollution
- Dumping of land
- Health problems for consumers
- How to control combat soil pollution
- Usage of environmental friendly fertilisers as domestic animal dumping’s
- Educating of levies on industries
Water Pollution
Definition: is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers)
Causes: Chemical pollution from industries, mines, etc
- Inadequate sewer age collection a treatment
- Increasing in pertilizers to grow
- Animal death
Effects
- Animal death
- Ecosystem
- Human health
Solutions
- Decrease of fertilizing and its usage by farmers
- Recycle water
- Refine of chemical contamination
Causes of water pollution
- Throwing rubbish into the water, e.g. tins, papers and plastics
- Pollutions from sewerage enters ground water of rivers
- Business chemical (e.g. miners
- Spilling of oil from ships
- Dead animals
- Detergents into water, washing
Management /how to reduce
- Water programs – people to be educated about pollution campaigns
- Avoid using gabbage disposal
- Stop washing at dams rivers etc rather use basins, washing
- Minimize the use of pesticides and fertilizing rather make your use compost
