OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the presentation, the trainees should be
able to:
 define pollution;
 identify the four (4) major types of pollution; and
 describe the causes and effects of each type of
pollution
Pollution
- is the process of making land, water, air or
other parts of the environment dirty and not safe
or suitable to use.
FOUR (4) MAJOR TYPES OF POLLUTION
1. Air Pollution
2. Water Pollution
3. Soil Pollution
4. Noise Pollution
AIR POLLUTION
- it is the
most prevalent
and dangerous
form of pollution
especially
considered to go
hand in hand
with
urbanization.
 CAUSES EFFECTS

 Industries and factories  Respiratory and heart

 Automobiles problems
 Burning of solid waste  Animals and plants
 Volcanic eruptions and  Global warming
Forest fires  Depletion of ozone layer
 Burning of fossil fuels
 Agricultural activities
WATER POLLUTION
- is the
contamination of
water with
inconsiderable
substances which
make it unfit for
usage.
 CAUSES
 Industrial wastes
 Sewage
 Pesticides and fertilizers
 Chemical and oil spills
 Solid wastes
EFFECTS
 Diseases like cholera,
typhoid, and malaria
 Destroyed aquatic life
 Shortage of clean water
SOIL POLLUTION
- also known as
Land Pollution, this
occurs due to
incorporation of
unwanted chemicals
in the soil due to
human activities
 CAUSES EFFECTS

 Leakages from sanitary  Loss of soil and nutrients

sewage present it
 Fuel leakage from  Increase in salinity of the
automobiles soil
 Solid wastes  Creation of toxic dust
 Agricultural wastes  Decrease in soil fertility
 Soil erosion
NOISE POLLUTION
- it is caused when a
noise which is of higher
intensity than 85 db
reaches our bare ears. It
may lead to psychological
problems like stress and
hypertension.
 CAUSES EFFECTS

 Industrial (power plants,  Hearing loss

metal workshops)
 Road traffic
 Use of loud speakers
 Construction works/road
infrastructural works
 Neighbourhood
 Machinery
 Stress
 High blood pressure
 Irritability
 Headache
 Annoying and interfere
with communications
