What is Pollution?
Environment is ‘everything that is not me’
o For ‘me’ to be healthy and happy, ‘everything that is not me’ must be healthy and happy.
o Environment:o a healthy balance between the demands of 7
billion people and the natural cycles of essential nutrients.
o safe from hazardous substances.

Pollutiono Pollution:
o Contamination of natural resources such as water, land and air.
o Adversely impact the environment and human.
o Pollutants:o products which affect the normal functioning of
ecosystemo adverse effect on plants, animals, and humans.
o Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light.

1. Air pollution
6.5 million deaths/yr (more deaths than AIDS and Malaria).
5th largest killer in India (AIIMS: lung cancer- 1/10 lakh)Ozone, particulate matter, CO, NO2, SOx and lead.Global warming, acid rains, smog, ozone depletion.

Global air pollution (NASA, 2010)
Threshold: particle size <10 microns/m3

2. Sound pollution
Natural and anthropogenic typesPartial loss of hearing, emotional disturbances,
high blood pressureThreshold of hearing: 0dB; jet plane: 130 dB
(100 feet), motor cycle: 88 dB (30 feet)

3. Light pollution
Over illumination and sky glowPsychological stress, medical problems in
children, animal life

4. Thermal pollution
Source: water as coolant in power plants and industries (half of all water used in the U.S)
Decrease in O2 supply Affects water quality and aquatic life
Biodiversity may decrease

5. Radioactive pollution
Alpha, beta and gamma particlesCancers, birth defects, deaths

Global radioactive pollution(Lelieveld et al. 2012)
Annual probability in percentage of radioactive contamination (>40 kilobec querels per square meter)

6. Land pollution
Each person in the U.S. produces about 2Kg of garbage a day.
14 billion pounds of garbage (mostly plastic) is dumped into Ocean every year
Largest e-waste site on earth is Guiyu, China; 88% of children have dangerous levels of lead in their blood

7. Water pollution
In India, 1000 children die every day due to disease caused by polluted water
1.1 billion people have no access to safe drinking waterThe Ganges River is one of the most polluted rivers in the
world.
