ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE QUARTER 3

LESSON: Pollutants in the Environment


Observe the environment around you. You may see any ecosystem with multiple forms of
contamination—streams full of toxic chemicals from industrial processes, rivers filled with
pesticides from farms, trashes blowing away from landfills, city skies covered in smog. Even
landscapes that appear pure can experience the effects of pollution.

Pollution impure landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants and animals.
Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution. Being exposed to polluted air for example can
cause chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases. Toxic chemicals that pile up in
top predators can make some species unsafe to eat. More than one billion people lack access to
clean water and 2.4 billion do not have adequate sanitation, putting them at risk of contracting
deadly diseases.

LESSON: Causes and Effects of Natural Disasters to Humans and Environment
Few believe that when the stars and planets are in a malevolent position bad events or bad
things may happen. No person would want to experience unlucky things or disasters. The disaster
is the impact of both natural and man-made events that influence our life and environment that
surrounds us.
Any disaster can be classified either as ‘Natural’ or ‘man-made’. The most common natural
disasters that are known to mankind are thunderstorms, very heavy rainfalls, cyclones,
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and floods which cause loss to property and life.
