Title: POLLUTION


1
POLLUTION
  • How We Can Stop It

Presented By Giovanna Whyte
2
What is Pollution?
  • Pollution means to make unclean or impure. If an
    ocean is polluted, it wont be healthy for sea
    animals to live in.

3
Types of Pollution
  • There are 3 types of pollution
  • Land
  • Air
  • Water

Water Pollution
  • Water Pollution occurs when there are oil
    spills, improper disposal of garbage, and waste
    products. For example, on March 24, 1989, an oil
    spill took place in Alaska. Exxon Valdez, the
    ship, hit an ice berg, and released 11 million
    gallons of oil into the sea. Fish and many other
    sea animals died as a result.
  • Other forms of water pollution are sewage that
    contain human waste such as feaces and urine
    which often finds its way into lakes and rivers.
    If this contaminated water is not treated before
    we drink it, we can become ill.

5
Air Pollution
  • Air Pollution takes place when we drive our
    cars, trucks, or buses. The combination of smog
    and smoke can be damaging to our lungs because we
    need to breathe fresh and clean air to have
    healthy lungs. People who smoke can pollute the
    air. Not only that, but they can destroy their
    lungs and get cancer, which is a deadly disease
    that has no cure and is very hard to fight
    without medicine.

6
Land Pollution
  • Like water pollution, land pollution is caused
    by tossing garbage anywhere you wish and
    destroying wild life habitats. Trees are cut
    down, forests are burnt, and the animals may not
    be able to find another home to survive. This has
    become a global problem

7
Ways to Prevent Water Pollution
  • To help prevent water pollution there are some
    things that we as human beings can do
  • Stop throwing garbage and human waste in the
    water.
  • The captain of the ship should be very careful
    when an ice berg is in the way. If it is too wide
    to go around, the best thing to do is turn back.

8
Ways to Prevent Air Pollution
  • We cant breathe without fresh, clean air. To
    stop air pollution, we can
  • Stop smoking.
  • Use electric cars.
  • Use a bike (not the motor one) or walk if you can
    manage it.
  • Do not use hairsprays, no matter how good it
    makes your hair look!
  • Use water based paints in your home.
  • Avoid household chemicals. Try keeping your home
    clean and smelling fresh.
  • Use an air purifier in your home.

9
Ways to Prevent Land Pollution
  • Here are some ways to stop land pollution
  • Recycle Paper to cut down less trees.
  • Stop destroying forests.
  • Stop killing animals for their fur and skin.
  • Stop throwing trash on land.

10
Summary
  • So you see, if you do these things that I have
    suggested, we should not have any more problems
    with polluting our land, air, or water.
  • Follow my steps to obtain a better living
    environment. Youll see that it works.
