For example‚ Provide people with more safety measures in use of carbon monoxide detector in homes and confined spaces where natural gas is used. Carbon monoxide detector detects harmful gases that are harmful to humans and animals. It is often referred to as the silent killer‚ and people are not aware they are being poisoned because carbon dioxide depending on the

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION Regular water supply is vitally important not only to maintain the health the community‚ but for the sustainability of the industry‚ business and agriculture. Without adequate water supplies our present society would never have evolved‚ and our lives today would be unrecognizable. Our dependence on treated water is now incalculable‚ and threats to that supply are comparable to the worst natural and man-made disaster. The volume of water consumed each day by agriculture

Usually‚ primary pollutants are directly emitted from a process‚ such as ash from a volcanic eruption‚ the carbon monoxide gas from a motor vehicle exhaust or sulfur dioxide released from factories. Secondary pollutants are not emitted directly. Rather‚ they form in the air when primary pollutants react or interact. An important example of a secondary pollutant is ground

Vehicles emanate three major pollutants: hydrocarbons‚ nitrogen oxides‚ and carbon monoxide. The Coalition for Clean Air (CCA) web site states that hydrocarbons are defined as compounds containing various combinations of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Nitrogen Oxides pertain to compounds of nitric acid‚ nitrogen dioxide‚ and other oxides of

Various human activities cause the destruction of earth. Human beings can live a few days without food and water however humans can last only a few seconds without oxygen. Various human activities lead to the aggravation of the quality of air.

POLLUTION INTRODUCTION Pollution is the act of environmental humiliation and contamination with artificial waste. Air‚ water‚ and soil pollution is a serious complication‚ which affects everyone in the world. Some of the main causes of pollution is the lack of laws to new industries as well as a poorly educated society. Due to environmental pollution‚ the society has put pressure on the government to create and carry out diverse policies to the control of environmental pollutants. LAND POLLUTION
