GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Ozone Depletion. Global Climate Change. Sea Level Rise
http://healthsafetyupdates.blogspot.in/
OZONE DEPLETION
In 1985 Ozone concentration aboveAntarctica had plunged more than
40%as compared to 1960 (Nature).Most Scientist – Disbelief.After several months, a hole forms
inozone layer.

OZONE•At stratosphere Shield against
harmful ultraviolet radiation.•Near ground as Green house
gas and health hazard.•One chlorine atom can destroy
1 lac ozone molecule.•Effects on life.

OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCE
CFC 11 for Plastic foam – 60 yearCFC 12 for refrigerant - 120 yearCFC 113 for solvent cleaning electronic.CFC 1l4 : 90 year & Halon 1301, Halon 1211& 2402 forfire Extinguishers – 25 to 110 years.

GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE• Introduction:• The Green House Effect:
Carbon dioxide, Nitrous oxide,Methane and CFC.
• Ozone depletion• Acid Rain• Deforestation• Global Warming & Agriculture
http://healthsafetyupdates.blogspot.in/
SEA LEVEL RISE
Causes of Sea level rise:• Global warming• Expanding ocean water• Melting mountain glaciers• Polar ice sheets to melt or
slide down into ocean.
http://healthsafetyupdates.blogspot.in/
Ice Potential for Sea Level Rise:• Northern Hemisphere - 75 Mtr.• Alpine glacier. - 30 to 60
Cm.• Greenland and - 7 Mtr. west Antarctic • East Antarctic - 60 Mtr.
http://healthsafetyupdates.blogspot.in/
Effects of Sea Level Rise:
• Costal Erosion.• Inundation.• Flooding and storm damage.• Increase salinity in Estuaries
and • Aquifers.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Development:Improving well being of people.
•Use of Resources•Degrading of Environment.
http://healthsafetyupdates.blogspot.in/
The Nature of the challenge• Population• Water supply & Sanitation.• Energy and Industry.• Controlling pollution.• Food demand.
http://healthsafetyupdates.blogspot.in/
A Strategy for Sustainable Development
• Natural Resources.• Bio-resources.• Concept of energy and
Alternative resources of energy.
• Ethnobotony.• Case study.
