Slide 1: Introduction

Urban areas are centers of industry, transport, and human activity.

Pollution in cities affects air, water, soil, noise, and light levels.

Goal: Understand its impact on ecosystems and health.

Slide 2: Types of Pollution

Air Pollution – from vehicles, factories, and burning fossil fuels.

Water Pollution – from sewage, industrial waste, and chemical runoff.

Soil Pollution – caused by waste dumping, pesticides, and chemicals.

Noise Pollution – from traffic, construction, and industry.

Light Pollution – excess artificial lighting disturbing natural cycles.

slide 3
What is Urban Pollution? Define the 5 main types of pollution outlined in the
objective: Air (smog, particulates), Water (sewage, runoff), Soil (waste,
chemicals), Noise (traffic, construction), and Light (sky glow).

slide 4

Ecosystem Effects Focus on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Biodiversity loss


(species decline due to habitat change). Impact on services like air/water
purification (e.g., green spaces being polluted), and pollination.

Slide 5: Effects on Human Health

Respiratory problems (asthma, bronchitis).

Waterborne diseases.

Mental stress from noise.

Sleep disruption from excessive light.

Slide 6: Solutions

Promote public transport and electric vehicles.

Treat industrial waste before release.

Plant urban trees and create green spaces.

Enforce recycling and pollution control laws.

Raise community awareness.
