WHICH SUBSTANCES ARE „POLLUTANTS“ ?
The environment could be polluted if harmful substances penetrate the air, water and soil and change their natural composition.
KINDS OF POLLUTANTS ACCORDING TO THEIR ORIGIN
NATURAL POLLUTANTS:
KINDS OF POLLUTANTS ACCORDING TO THEIR ORIGIN
Pollutants originating from human activities :
THE POLLUTION INFLUENCE ON THE ENVIRONMENT � THE MAIN WATER POLLUTANT IS WASTE
The rain dissolves some harmful substances, floating in the air and carry them into the soil and water basins.
OIL SLICKS LEAD to environmental disasters in the areas where they occur. All plants and animals die there.
The main pollutants of the air are: exhausted fumes, dust particles from industry, electric power production, vehicles and heating of the buildings. The natural circulation of the air is disturbed, which leads to global warming and climate change in long term.
Logging leads deforestation and leads to disturbance of the environmental balance: water sources dry up, the soil fails to retain moisture, the climate changes, which influence the animal and plant world.

HOUSEHOLD AND CONSTRUCTION WASTE
Household waste is transported to specially designed places called landfill sites. The household waste is placed in cells, which are well-isolated in order to prevent it from pollution.
Construction waste in small quantities is used to fortify road pavement and infrastructure of the landfills.
PACKAGE WASTE
Package waste is transported to separation and recycling plants. Raw materials are produced from the waste and they are reused for production of new products.
STREET SWEEPING AND WASHING
Street sweeping
Waste is removed from streets manually by using special devices.
Dust is cleaned from streets by using machines. They are provided with spraying devices to prevent air from becoming dusty.
