Pollution: Meaning, Types and Pollutant Classification
Pollution changes environmental quality, while pollutant degradability and persistence determine how long contamination remains and accumulates.
Open article →Air Pollution: Sources, Health Effects and Control
Fuel combustion, vehicles, industries and fires release harmful gases and fine particles; cleaner technology, filters, green cover and regulation reduce them.
Open article →Smog, Ozone Depletion and Acid Rain
Sunlight-driven smog, CFC-linked ozone depletion and sulphuric or nitric acid rain are distinct atmospheric problems with different causes and effects.
Open article →Water Pollution: Sources, Pathways and Effects
Point discharges, diffuse runoff, leaks and spills carry municipal, industrial and farm pollutants into water, harming ecosystems, food chains and health.
Open article →Water Pollution Prevention and Wastewater Treatment
Source control and staged physical, biological and disinfection processes remove solids, organic matter, pathogens and toxic material before discharge or reuse.
Open article →Noise Pollution: Sources, Effects and Control
Unwanted sound from transport, machines and loud activities harms sleep, hearing and health; barriers, maintenance, protection and regulation reduce exposure.
Open article →Soil Pollution, Agrochemicals and Aquatic Effects
Excess farm chemicals pollute soil and water; persistent pollutants magnify through food chains, while nutrient runoff drives algal blooms and oxygen loss.
Open article →Solid, Electronic and Plastic Waste Control
Segregation, recovery, safe recycling and regulated disposal keep hazardous solid, electronic and plastic materials out of air, soil, water and food chains.
Open article →Greenhouse Effect, Global Warming and Climate Impacts
Greenhouse gases retain heat and warm Earth; climate change then affects ice, sea level, rainfall, drought, heat, ecosystems and agriculture.
Open article →Climate-Change Mitigation and Adaptation
Mitigation reduces greenhouse-gas emissions and strengthens sinks, while adaptation lowers risks from impacts already occurring or expected; both are necessary.
