MEASURES AND ACTIVITIES TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

• USE MODERN TECHNOLOGY

The use of modern technologies to reduce environmental pollution is very important. For example, without modern technology, it is not possible to clean up oil spills in sea. With modern technology, solid waste such as old newspapers, old magazines, paper, cloth, plastic and glass can be recycled. This would certainly reduce the pollution caused by solid waste management is not perfect.

• ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION THROUGH THE CURRICULUM

To create awareness among the people, the best way is through education. Reasons of environmental education is that it is necessary to form positive attitudes towards the environment itself.With the awareness of an individual, he will be aware of the importance of environmental quality are maintained. This is because they already know what the problem might be caused by an act which is responsible for polluting the environment.

• EXHIBITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

This exhibition may include environmental issues, the reasons for the pollution, its impacts and what can be done to reduce pollution. Materials like charts, polster and newspaper cuttings may be displayed. In addition, video tapes and slides are available with respect to pollution can also be displayed. Such an exhibition can raise awareness and teach people to protect the environment.

• CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

Participate in a campaign to protect the environment is a healthy and highly recommended. Among the campaigns that protect the environment is to love our river campaign, recycling campaigns, friend of nature, and so forth. These campaigns can affect the depth of its participants.

• DISCLOSURE OF MASS MEDIA

In today's mass media play an important role in shaping the thinking of all users. Thus, the existence of mass media exposure on the issue of pollution, the public will be careful in dealing with pollution problems. So far, most media to make disclosure of the issue of contamination is the magazines and newspapers. Television has also made this disclosure and examples TV3and TV7 but it is too little emphasis.

EFFECT OF POLLUTION

(1) Threaten Human Health

As a result of environmental pollution, human health is also affected. In our country today such as the of cars has increased rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s than previously. Unfortunately, the technology of manufacturing of motor vehicles has caused many problems such as air pollution, environmental damage and natural wildlife. Production of monoxide gas is a tonix gas that can kill if retained in a closed area. Another kind of element that can be produced through the use of a motor vehicle is a type of lead is very toxic chemical and can cause brain damage, especially among children. A part from that, as occurred in Minamata Bay, Japan, toxic pollution into the water causing symptoms of numbness and tingling, numbness, headaches, blurred vision and expression that is not correct. Some end up with paralysis and died there. Symptoms caused by mercury poisoning has involved hundreds of fishing families. It is known as Minamata disease.

(2) Threaten plants and animals

The effects of the pollution occurs not only experienced by human, but also affect other wildlife. The impacts of pollution that killed many marine organisms in the shallow waters of the effects of oil spills into the sea. When oil spills occur with many near the coast it forms a layer of oil is threatening marine life and birds. Spill were also affected plankton growth and fertility. The impacts are considered chronic anomalia, the enlargement of the body and which is not normal behavior, and less immune to the use of water rescouces. As another example poisoned effects of mercury, a strange incident occurred in Minamata Bay, Japan, where the birds are flying suddenly plummeted from the sky. Cat walk unstable with a mouth-foaming, then ran and died uncertain.

(3) Property damage

Pollution caused by natural factors like volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc., substantially affected by the destruction of property. As an example of a volcanic eruption events that occurred in Indonesia, volcano has resulted in property damage to bend. This is caused by hot lava produced by the mountain. Among the property damage that occurred was the destruction of human habitation and infrastructure in the affected areas.

SOURCE OF POLLUTION

- AIR POLLUTION -

According to reports made by the Department of Environment, through the Consumer newspaper in 2001: Total output of materials for the Malaysian air pollution is estimated at 933,000 tonnes per annum.

so, Of this amount, the vehicle is a major source of this pollution (58.1%), followed by power stations (23.9%), industrial fuel combustion (9.4%), processing industry (3.9%) and burning (4.9%).

This air pollution occurs when there is foreign matter in concentrations that interfere with or endanger people, plants and property of foreign objects. objects is in the form of dust, smoke, fog, steam and gas (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, Ozone, S ulfur oxide, the smell) or any mixture of these materials.

TYPE OF POLLUTION.

WATER POLLUTION

Where do we get drinking water from? May be from a well, tank canal or river but the rain water which fills these sources. Water covers 70% of the earth and only 3% of fresh water. 1% of fresh water and 2% of frozen fresh water. Water pollution is an undesirable change in the state of water, contaminated with harmful substances. Any change in the physical, chemical and biological properties of water that has a harmful effect on living things is water pollution. The effect of water pollution are harmful to human beings, plants, animals, fish and birds. Polluted water also contains viruses, bacteria and other harmful microorganisms which can cause waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery, and typhoid.

AIR POLLUTION

Air pollution occurs when the air contains gases, dust, fumes or odour in harmful amounts. That is, amounts which could be harmful to the health or comfort of humans and animals or which could cause damage to plants and materials. The substances that cause air pollution are called pollutants. Pollutants that are pumped into our atmosphere and directly pollute the air are called primary pollutants. Primary pollutant examples include carbon monoxide from car exhausts and sulfur dioxide from the combustion of coal.Further pollution can arise if primary pollutants in the atmosphere undergo chemical reactions. The resulting compounds are called secondary pollutants. Photochemical smog is an example of this.

LAND POLLUTION

The contamination of land usually results from its commercial or industrial usage or from the spillage or dumping of waste, including landfill. These activities may have left elevated levels of heavy metals, hydrocarbons and other compounds on the land, and possibly in the groundwater. These may have the potential to cause harm to people or to the environment. The environmental quality team is responsible for inspecting sites in the borough for sources of contamination.

WHAT IS POLLUTION?

Pollution is the introduction of a contaminant into the environment. It is created mostly by human actions but can also to natural disasters. Pollution can occur as a result of the act of human self but pollution is when water, air and land becomes very dirty. Pollution can come in 3 different types effecting different types of areas in the world. The types of pollution is a water pollution, air pollution and land pollution. Not many people realize that pollution is very harmful because they don't think of the our environment, themselves and other people and what can do it. It involves our society and all other animals. Pollution is gradually destroying our planet and is gradually killing ourselves to.

WHAT IS ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION

 

                                        

Environment pollution is caused due to over-use of natural resources, presence of a large number of people and livestock in congested areas, use of agrochemicals, setting up of factories, running of automobiles, burning of fuel and etc. A change in the environment due to pollution also affects the ecological balance. Environment pollution is caused both ins rural and urban areas. Pollution can cause sickness and discomfort. It's also affects the productivity of natural resources, such as land, water, forest and livestock. We can prevent environmental pollution if we understand its causes.

WHAT IS ENVIRONMENT?

Environment is our surrounding. This include living and non-living things around us. the component living to our environment is germs, plants, animal and people. The non-living component of our environment are land, water and air.

All plants and animal would like the environment in which they are born and live. A charge in any component of the environment may cause discomfort and effect normal life. Any unfavorable change or generation in the environment is know as ' Environmental Pollution'.

We as a student university want and need to protect our environment to live happily.

THE LIVING COMPONENTS

GERMS

PLANTS

ANIMAL

PEOPLE

THE NON-LIVING COMPONENTS

LAND

WATER

AIR

"I do wonder whether there will come a time when we can no longer afford our wastefulness - chemical wastes in rivers, metal wastes everywhere, and atomic wastes buried deep in the earth or sunk in the sea."

- John Steinbeck

"In an era when a chemical spill can kill thousands, when wastes buried 20 years earlier can contaminate community water supplies, when our environmental ignorance can plant the seeds for later diseases, environmentalists and industrialists cannot continue to draw false battlelines."

- Jay Hair
