PPT-P O L L U T I O N Identifying and Understanding Air, Water, and Soil Pollution

Water Pollution Causes illness and death in humans and other species and disrupts ecosystems The chief source of water pollution are agricultural activities industrial facilities and mining but growth in population and resource use make it increasingly worse. 8 .

Core Case Study: Organic Agriculture Is on the Rise. Organic agriculture. Crops grown without using synthetic pesticides, synthetic inorganic fertilizers, or genetically engineered seeds. Animals grown without using antibiotics or synthetic hormones. Changing Landscape. Activities affect environment. Relationship between resources and sustainable use. Effect of Human Activity. Living on Island Earth. We affect environment when:. Obtain food. Eliminate waste products. In developing countries, water pollution is caused mainly from dumping raw sewage into the water supply.. In developed countries, water pollution comes mainly from 3 sources. Municipal pollution. Industrial pollution. A. Using biologic controls such as pheromones to disrupt insect mating cycles . B. Using genetically modified plant varieties that kill insects that chew their leaves. C. Using sodium nitrate as a fertilizer on green leafy vegetables.
