Fig- Noise pollution Noise pollution Excessive noise in the background is unsafe for living. Noise pollution is a serious threat to humans and wildlife. We must make people aware of the impacts of noise pollution and encourage them to adopt ways that do not contribute to noise pollution. Noise pollution disturbed 11% of the population during the day and 4% at night. The intensity of noise is measured in decimals. Noise Pollution occurs when the level of noise increases above the average level of noise in the environment. Humans can hear a conversation up to 60dB. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) sound levels, less than 70dB are not damaging to living organisms regardless of how consistent the exposure is Traffic Noise Air traffic Noise Noise from Construction sites Animals Noise Transport Noise Neighborhood Noise Industrial Noise.  Noise pollution on wild life Noise pollution can cause health problems for people and wildlife, both on land and in the sea. Noise from ship

This translates to just over 1 octillion liters (1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters) of water distributed in the oceans, rivers, lakes and streams. That is a lot of water, however, less than 0.3% is accessible for human consumption. The effects of water contamination can be felt for years to come.  In fact, the same water which we drink has been around in one form or the other since the time of the dinosaurs. The earth has more than two-thirds of its surface covered with water. Water pollution is caused when water bodies such as rivers, lakes, oceans, groundwater and aquifers get contaminated with industrial and agricultural effluents. When water gets polluted, it adversely affect

                                                            Fig- Environmental pollution Environmental Pollution                                    Environmental pollution is defined as "The contamination of the physical and biological components of the earth/atmosphere system to such an extent that normal environmental processes are adversely affected." Environmental pollution is not a new phenomenon, yet it remains the world’s greatest problem facing humanity, and the leading environmental causes of morbidity and mortality. Environmental pollution is unwarranted disposal of mass or energy into earth’s natural resource pool such as water, land, or air that results in long- or short-term detriment to the atmosphere and its ecological health to negatively impact the living beings and their life both quantitatively and qualitatively. The pollutants may yield primary or secondary damages, of which the primary damage can be quantified and its impact monitored.  Man’s activities t
