The world today is facing the biggest challenge of survival. Degradation of ecosystem, depletion of natural
resources, increasing levels of pollution pose major threat to the survival of mankind. The need of the hour,
therefore, is to concentrate on the area of environmental aspects, which shall provide an insight into various
environmental related issues. Environmental studies are an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates
physical, chemical and biological sciences, with the study of the environment. It provides an integrated,
quantitative, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental system and gives an insight into
“Prepare a list of polluted natural resources which are responsible for pollution and collect information on
how to manage them”
Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into the Environment. The major kinds of pollution, usually
classified by environment, are air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution. Pollution of all kinds can have
negative effects on the environment and wildlife and often impacts human health and well being. By the middle
of the 20th century, an awareness of the need to protect air, water and land environments from pollution had
developed among the general public. Now it has become necessary to manage the polluted natural resources.
Natural resources are resources that exists without any actions of humankind. This includes the sources
of valued characteristics such as commercial and industrial use, aesthetic value, scientific interest and
cultural value. Common examples of natural resources include air, sunlight, water, soil, plants, animals,
and fossil fuels. There are various methods of categorizing natural resources. These include the source
of origin, stage of development, and by their renewability. Biotic and abiotic resources, renewable and
non-renewable resources are examples of resources that are classified into different types.
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants or harmful materials into the natural environment that cause adverse
change. These harmful materials are called pollutants .Pollutants damage the quality, of air, water and land.
Pollution is a global problem. When vital natural resources are polluted, all forms of life are threatened.
There are 3 main types of polluted natural resources on which the survival of all biotic components of the
environment depends on
1) Air.
2) Water.
3) Soil.
1) Air:
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. 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 environment(for example, climate change, ozone depletion or habitat degradation)
Various pollution control technologies and strategies are available to reduce air pollution. Pollutants of major
public health concern include particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, Nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
Air pollution kills an estimated seven million people worldwide every year.
Causes :
Pollution prevention approaches to reduce, eliminate, or prevent pollution at its source, should be considered.
Following are the ways with the help of which we can manage air pollution –
1)Use less toxic raw materials or fuels, use a less-polluting industrial process, and to improve the efficiency of
the process.
2)Controlling emissions related to transportation can include emission controls on vehicles as well as use of
cleaner fuels.
6)Using public transport to reduce the number of vehicles that emit harmful gases into the atmosphere.
2.Water :
Water pollution is the release of substances into bodies of water that contaminates it and makes water unsafe for
human use and disrupts aquatic ecosystems. Water pollution reduces the ability of the body of water to provide
the ecosystem services that it would otherwise provide. Water bodies include for example lakes, rivers, oceans,
Aquifers, reservoirs and groundwater. In addition to damage to many species, water pollution can also lead to
water- borne diseases for people Water pollution can also be classified as surface water pollution(for example
lakes, streams, estuaries, and parts of the ocean in marine pollution) or groundwater pollution.
Causes :
3)Fertilizer Run-Off.
4)Oil Spills.
7)Mining activities.
8)Industrial wastage.
9)Marine dumping.
3)Water conservation.
5)Preventing the flow of toxic chemicals and waste from industries and factories into the water bodies
6)Increase the practice of reusing and recycling items. This will help in reduction of garbage.
9)Reducing the usage of pesticides in the agricultural sector and promoting the use of organic fertilizers.
3.Soil :
Soil pollution is defined as the presence of toxic chemicals (pollutants or contaminants) in soil, in high enough
concentrations to pose a risk to human health and/or the ecosystem. In the case of contaminants which occur
naturally in soil, even when their levels are not high enough to pose a risk, soil pollution is still said to occur if
the levels of the contaminants in soil exceed the levels that should naturally be present. The concern over soil
contamination stems primarily from health risks, from direct contact with the contaminated soil, vapour from the
contaminants, or from secondary contamination of water supplies within and underlying the soil.
Causes :
2)Deforestation that results in soil erosion and makes the land infertile and drains its nutrients.
3)Excessive dumping of garbage that includes synthetic fibers, plastic, etc that may take more than a thousand
years to decompose.
6)Nuclear sources
Some of the measures by which we can manage or prevent soil pollution are:
During the course of this micro-project, we learned about polluted natural resources which are responsible for
pollution and how to manage them.
Title of Micro-Project: “Prepare a list of polluted natural resources which are responsible for pollution and
collect information on how to manage them”
Course Outcome Achieved:
a Develop Public awareness about environment.
b Select alternative energy resources for engineering practice.
c Conserve Ecosystem and Biodiversity.
d Apply techniques to reduce Environmental pollution.
e Manage social issues and environmental Ethics as lifelong learning.
