LET'S START WITH PLANTING TREES ☺️

-

 Trees help in maintaining the ecological balance of the earth by emission of Oxygen, absorption of Carbon dioxide. Most important benefits of trees are: It helps the environment to provide an enormous amount of oxygen and reduce the toxic carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and pollutants by absorbing.

LET'S IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF SOIL

WHAT IS SOIL POLLUTION?  Soil contamination or soil pollution as part of land degradation is caused by the presence of xenobiotics (human-made) chemicals or other alteration in the natural soil environment. It is typically caused by industrial activity, agricultural chemicals or improper disposal of waste. How can we fix it ? To prevent soil pollution, its causes must be controlled. 1. Reduce the use of plastics: Plastics and polythene bags destroy the fertility of the soil. Hence, these should be disposed off properly and if possible, their use should be avoided. 2. Industrial pollutants: Some waste products from industries and homes pollute the soil. These pollutants should be treated chemically to make them harmless before they are disposed off. 3. Insecticides: Other pollutants of soil include pesticides and insecticides.  4. Use manures instead of chemical fertilizers. 5. Industrial waste should be treated before release. Therefore, the excessive use of these substances s...

  WHAT IS AIR POLLUTION? Air pollution  is the presence of substances in the  atmosphere  that are harmful to the  health  of  humans  and other  living beings , or cause damage to the  climate  or to materials. There are different types of air pollutants, such as gases (such as  ammonia ,  carbon monoxide ,  sulfur dioxide ,  nitrous oxides ,  methane  and  chlorofluorocarbons ),  particulates  (both organic and inorganic), and  biological molecules . Air pollution may cause diseases, allergies and even death to humans; it may also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops, and may damage the  natural  or  built environment . Both human activity and natural processes can generate air pollution. HOW CAN WE FIX IT? Riding a bike or walking instead of driving. Taking a bus or carpooling. Buying a car that has greater fuel efficiency. Turning off...

LET'S REDUCE RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION

-
Image
  WHAT IS RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION? The radioactive pollution is defined as the physical pollution of living organisms and their environment as a result of the release of radioactive substances into the environment during nuclear explosions and testing of nuclear weapons, nuclear weapon production and decommissioning, mining of radioactive ores, handling and disposal of radioactive waste, and accidents at nuclear power plants. Nuclear tests are carried out to determine the effectiveness, yield, and explosive capability of nuclear weapons. The proportion of radioactive pollution is 15% of the total energy of the explosion. Radioactive pollution of water, water sources, and air space is the result of radioactive fallout from the cloud of a nuclear explosion. Radionuclides are the main sources of pollution; they emit beta particles and gamma rays, radioactive substances. HOW CAN WE REDUCE-IT? Select reagents and procedures that minimize the volume and toxicity of all wastes. If feasible,...
