THERMAL POLLUTION It is one of the pollution that effects on living things and the environment badly. The definition of thermal pollution is the degradation of water quality by any process that changes ambient water temperature. A common cause of thermal pollution is the use of water as a coolant by power plants and industrial manufacturers. When water used as a coolant is returned to the natural environment at a higher temperature‚ the change in temperature decreases oxygen supply‚ and affects ecosystem composition

Ocean Pollution “Over 80% of marine pollution comes from land-based activities” (WWF‚ May 4‚ 2006‚ p.1). The rest comes from ocean-based activities. Different types of pollution enter the ocean each year. The major pollutants are oil‚ toxic materials‚ and debris. These materials not only pollute the ocean‚ but they also affect the marine life. Before the 1970s there were no laws to prevent and stop people from dumping pollutants into the ocean. Since the early 1970s many laws and regulations

1. INTRODUCTION Environmental Pollution is the most important threat to the human race on this planet today. Environment consists of earth‚ air‚ water‚ flora and fauna. It means adding impurity which threatens the life of flora and fauna to the environment. These impurities are mainly created by man-made activities. The impurity can be air‚ water‚ land any sort of thermal radiation‚ etc. As we moving towards globalization there is rapid increase in industrialization and technological growth which

Practical 3 Title: Effect of dissolved Carbon Dioxide on the pH of Water Aim: To investigate the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on the pH of water. Hypothesis: The dissolved carbon dioxide will cause the water to turn acid‚ lowering the pH when carbon dioxide dissolves in water in which it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3). Materials: Straws‚ distilled water‚ safety glasses‚ pH probe‚ computer‚ universal indicator‚ gloves‚ lab coats‚ measuring cylinder‚ data logger‚ printer

Pollution - Environmental pollution is any discharge of material or energy into water‚ land‚ or air that causes or may cause acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) detriment to the Earth ’s ecological balance or that lowers the quality of life. Pollutants may cause primary damage‚ with direct identifiable impact on the environment‚ or secondary damage in the form of minor perturbations in the delicate balance of the biological food web that are detectable only over long time periods.
