People urinate or
defecate in rivers
but people may
have intentions to
use this water as
drinking water
Companies sometimes
dispose of their toxic
waste in rivers or the
ocean, which is illegal.
However if they do this
is pollutes the waters
and can wipe out
species of fish as they
can get poisoned by the
waste
People may chuck litter into
oceans and rivers creating sea
litter and this can put animals in
serious danger as they can get
caught in them and die
Air pollution
ACID RAIN
Sulphur Dioxide is
released into the
atmosphere by the
fumes from cars
and factories
This makes the
air slightly acid
which then
pollutes rain
clouds
This then
produces
slightly acidic
rain.
GLOBAL WARMING
C02 is released into
the atmosphere by
burning fossil fuels
e.g. cars and
factories.
As C02 is a
greenhouse gas, it
increases the thickness
of the O-zone layer.
This means less and
less infra-red rays are
escaping the
atmosphere,
This means the
earth's
temperature is
slowly rising
which means ice
caps are melting,
resulting in the
sea level rising.
Carbon Monoxide is
released when fossil
fuels are burnt. This
gas is very toxic and if
too much is inhaled it
can be deadly as it
causes carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Land Polltuion
Landfill sites get filled with
lots of unrecyclable solid
materials. Because they
don't biodegrade easily, the
amount of rubbish starts to
build up and it can cause
great harm to the people
and animals around them.
Pesticides and fertilizers,
although used to speed
up growth in plants, can
cause harm as animals
eat them ands this can
poison them. Also, it
ends up on our food/
Chemical and nuclear
power plants produce
poisonous waste that
has to be stored
somewhere. Some are
stored underground
however this can polute
the soil and disrupt out
plants.
Deforestation is where
trees are chopped down for
a variety of uses. It means
the level of C02 rises as
there are less trees to
absorb it. Also, it disrupts
animals habitats and can
cause them to become
extinct.
It takes trees a
long time to grow
so our forests are
slowly disappearing
as the trees cannot
grow as quickly as
they're being
chopped down.
