Presentation on the theme "atmospheric pollution and its consequences". Environmental consequences of global atmospheric pollution Consequences of environmental pollution presentation
Introduction. Judging by the photographs taken from space, our planet could well be called Oceania, since the area occupied by water is 2.5 times the land area. A huge mass of ocean water forms the climate of the planet, serves as a source of precipitation. More than half of the oxygen comes from it, and it also regulates the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as it is able to absorb its excess. At the bottom of the World Ocean there is an accumulation and transformation of a huge mass of mineral and organic substances, therefore the geological and geochemical processes occurring in the oceans and seas have a very strong influence on the entire earth's crust. It was the Ocean that became the cradle of life on Earth; now it is home to about four-fifths of all living beings on the planet.
resources of the oceans. In our time, "the era of global problems", the World Ocean plays an increasingly important role in the life of mankind. Being a huge pantry of mineral, energy, plant and animal wealth, which - with their rational consumption and artificial reproduction - can be considered practically inexhaustible, the Ocean is able to solve one of the most pressing problems: the need to provide a rapidly growing population with food and raw materials for a developing industry, danger of an energy crisis, lack of fresh water. The main resources of the ocean 1. Sea water 2. 75 chemical elements 3. Salt (33%) 4. Uranium and deuterium mining 5. Mineral resources 6. The bottom is rich in mineral deposits. 7. Inexhaustible energy resources
Main routes of ocean pollution Oil and oil products Wastewater Pesticides Synthetic surfactants Compounds with carcinogenic properties Heavy metals Waste dumping into the sea for landfill Thermal pollution
Ecological consequences for humans Pollution of aquatic ecosystems poses a great danger to all living organisms, and in particular to humans. The environmental consequences of pollution of the World Ocean are most pronounced in a decrease in the reproduction of marine organisms. It has been established that under the influence of pollutants in freshwater ecosystems, there is a drop in their stability due to disruption of the food pyramid and breakdown of signaling links in the biocenosis, microbiological pollution, eutrophication and other extremely unfavorable processes.
Protection of the seas and oceans. The oceans cover two thirds of the Earth's surface, and protecting them has become one of the main tasks of the United Nations. The activities of the United Nations Environment Programme, primarily its diverse efforts to protect the marine environment, have drawn the attention of the world community to the problems of the oceans and seas. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the United Nations specialized agency responsible for taking action to prevent marine pollution from ships and improve the safety of international shipping. Despite the huge growth in global shipping, oil pollution from ships declined during the 1980s. by 60 percent, and this trend continues. This is partly due to the introduction of improved methods of waste disposal control and partly to the tightening of controls through conventions.
Conclusion The consequences of mankind's wasteful, careless attitude towards the Ocean are horrendous. The destruction of plankton, fish and other inhabitants of ocean waters is far from all. The damage could be much greater. Indeed, the World Ocean has general planetary functions: it is a powerful regulator of the moisture circulation and thermal regime of the Earth, as well as the circulation of its atmosphere. Pollution can cause very significant changes in all these characteristics, which are vital for the climate and weather regime on the entire planet. Symptoms of such changes are already observed today. Severe droughts and floods are repeated, destructive hurricanes appear, severe frosts come even to the tropics, where they never happened. Of course, it is not yet possible to even approximately estimate the dependence of such damage on the degree of pollution. Oceans, however, the relationship undoubtedly exists. Be that as it may, the protection of the ocean is one of the global problems of mankind. The Dead Ocean is a dead planet, and therefore all of humanity.
"Pollution of the atmosphere by man" - Emissions of substances into the atmosphere. Lake Ladoga is a reservoir of drinking water for St. Petersburg. And I hear the voice of the river: "You take care of us, take care!". Pollution in Petukhovo. Pollution of the world's oceans. For each citizen, there are from 150 to 600 kg. garbage per year.

Atmospheric air is a vital component of the environment, which is a natural mixture of gases of the surface layer of the atmosphere outside residential, industrial and other premises, formed during the evolution of the Earth. Near the Earth's surface, air is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and less than 1% argon. The air may contain a small amount of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, helium, neon and other elements.
slide 3
slide 4
Air quality is determined by the ratio of certain substances in its composition. The health of people, the state of flora and fauna, the strength and durability of any structures, buildings, structures depend on air quality.
slide 5
Atmospheric pollution is understood as the process of introducing into the air or the formation in it of physical agents, chemicals or organisms that adversely affect the living environment or damage material values.
slide 6
The main natural sources of air pollution are natural pollutants of mineral, vegetable or microbiological origin, which include volcanic eruptions, forest and steppe fires, dust, plant pollen, animal excretions, etc.)
Slide 7
Artificial (anthropogenic) sources of air pollution can be divided into several groups: - Transport - pollutants generated during the operation of road, rail, air, sea and river transport; - Industrial - pollutants formed as emissions during technological processes, heating; - Household - pollutants caused by the combustion of fuel in the residential sector and the processing of household waste.
Slide 8
According to the sources of pollution, two types of atmospheric pollution are distinguished: natural from human activities. According to the nature of the pollutant, atmospheric pollution can be of three types: physical - mechanical (dust, solid particles), radioactive (radioactive radiation and isotopes), electromagnetic (various types of electromagnetic waves, including radio waves), noise (various loud sounds and low-frequency vibrations) and thermal pollution (for example, emissions of warm air, etc.) chemical - pollution by gaseous substances and aerosols. To date, the main chemical pollutants of atmospheric air are: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, aldehydes, heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr), ammonia, atmospheric dust and biological radioactive isotopes - mainly microbial contamination. nature. For example, air pollution by vegetative forms and spores of bacteria and fungi, viruses, as well as their toxins and waste products.
Slide 9
Currently, many tens of thousands of pollutants of anthropogenic origin are found in the surface atmosphere. Due to the continued growth of industrial and agricultural production, new chemical compounds, including highly toxic ones, are emerging. The main anthropogenic air pollutants, in addition to large-tonnage oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, carbon, dust and soot, are complex organic, organochlorine and nitro compounds, man-made radionuclides, viruses and microbes. The most dangerous are dioxin, benz (a) pyrene, phenols, formaldehyde, and carbon disulfide, which are widespread in the air basin of Russia. Heavy metals are found in the surface atmosphere mainly in a gaseous state, and therefore they cannot be captured by filters.
Slide 10
Car emissions account for a large share of air pollution. Currently, road transport accounts for more than half of all harmful emissions into the environment.
slide 11
Exhaust gases emitted into the atmosphere by cars are the main reason for exceeding the permissible concentrations of toxic substances and carcinogens in the atmosphere of large cities, the formation of smog
slide 12
Prolonged contact with an environment poisoned by car exhaust gases causes a general weakening of the body - immunodeficiency.
slide 13
In addition, the gases themselves can cause various diseases such as respiratory failure, sinusitis, laryngotracheitis, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, lung cancer. Exhaust gases also cause atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels. Indirectly through pulmonary pathology, various disorders of the cardiovascular system can also occur.
Slide 14
Among the main sources of anthropogenic aerosol air pollution are thermal power plants (TPP) that consume coal. Coal combustion, cement production and iron smelting give a total dust emission to the atmosphere equal to 170 million tons per year
slide 15
The combustion of coal at thermal power plants leads to emissions of more than just carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Sulfur impurities contained in coal lead to emissions of sulfur dioxide. Mixing in clouds with water vapor, sulfur dioxide generates sulfuric acid, and nitrogen oxides - nitric acid, which then fall to the ground in the form of acid rain.
slide 16
The Earth's ozone layer is a layer of the atmosphere that closely coincides with the stratosphere, lying between 7 - 8 (at the poles), 17 - 18 (at the equator) and 50 km above the surface of the planet and is characterized by an increased concentration of ozone molecules that reflect hard cosmic radiation, fatal to all life on earth. Increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation causes degradation of ecosystems and the gene pool of flora and fauna, reduces crop yields and the productivity of the oceans
Slide 17
In 1985, almost half of the ozone layer disappeared over Antarctica, and a “hole” appeared, which, two years later, spread over tens of millions of square kilometers and went beyond the sixth continent. Since 1986, ozone depletion has not only continued, but also sharply increased - it has evaporated 2-3 times faster than scientists predicted. In 1992, the ozone layer decreased not only over Antarctica, but also over other regions of the planet. In 1994, a giant anomaly was registered that captured the territories of Western and Eastern Europe, North Asia and North America
Slide 18
The atmosphere has an intense impact not only on humans and biota, but also on the hydrosphere, soil and vegetation cover, geological environment, buildings, structures and other man-made objects. Therefore, the protection of atmospheric air and the ozone layer is the highest priority environmental problem and it is given close attention in all developed countries.
Slide 19
WAYS TO SOLVING THE PROBLEM Atmospheric pollution is an important problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. This is understood in all countries and various measures are being taken to reduce air pollution. Many enterprises install cleaning filters that significantly reduce the amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere. In some countries, industrial enterprises are moved away from large cities, where the concentration of pollution is already high.
Slide 20
Atmospheric pollution levels are monitored at fixed posts, which are designed to ensure continuous recording of the content of pollutants in the atmospheric air or regular air sampling for subsequent analysis. The number of stationary posts is determined depending on the population, the area of the settlement, the terrain, the degree of development of industry, as well as the density of traffic flows.
slide 21
The forecast of the state of the surface atmosphere is carried out on the basis of complex data. These primarily include the results of monitoring observations, the patterns of migration and transformation of pollutants in the atmosphere, the features of anthropogenic and natural processes of pollution of the air basin of the study area, the influence of meteorological parameters, relief and other factors on the distribution of pollutants in the environment. For this, models of atmospheric changes in time and space are being developed. The end result of applying such models is a quantitative assessment of the risk of air pollution and an assessment of its acceptability from a socio-economic point of view.

Environmental pollution. The impact of the consequences on a person
It is impossible to allow people to direct to their own destruction those forces of nature that they were able to discover and conquer F. Joliot-Curie
Goal and tasks. Purpose: To study how the environment affects human health Tasks: 1) Find out the main sources of environmental pollution, 2) Identify the consequences of pollution.
Relevance Environmental pollution is the cause of 40% of deaths in the world Forty percent of people in the world die due to pollution of the environment, namely water, soil and air. These environmental problems, coupled with rapid population growth, are leading to an increase in the number of diseases, according to a press release from Cornell University.

ENVIRONMENTAL MUTAGENS Man in his daily activities is faced with a variety of chemicals used in large quantities in industry, agriculture, medicine and everyday life. Substances used in industry Vinyl chloride monomer has been produced by the industry for more than 50 years. Over 95% of it is used for the production of synthetic resins. The mutagen is not vinyl chloride itself, but its metabolites, primarily chloroethylene oxide. The latter has the strongest mutagenic and carcinogenic properties for mammals. Styrene, used in the production of polyester plastics, and chlorprene, used in the production of polychlorprene elastomers, have mutagenic activity. The mutagenic activity of compounds of lead, zinc, mercury, chromium and other metals has been established.
The process of formation of mutations is called mutagenesis factors causing mutations - mutagens Mutagenic factors are divided into: a) physical b) chemical - natural organic and inorganic substances; products of oil and coal processing; synthetic substances not previously found in nature; some metabolites of the human body c) biological

A new anthropogenic factor (iatrogenic) is the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) The total number of “test-tube” children has exceeded 3 million. They have an increased frequency of imprinting diseases (Angelmann and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndromes) decreased fertility in men.
This is how a person will look in 2768 years 1. Eyes. To withstand contact with pollutants in the atmosphere, human eyes will become smaller and look like pigs. The transparent membrane (which can now be found in the inner corner of the eyes) will become larger and will serve as a second eyelid. 2. Nose. It will increase in size and will be equipped with a system of compartments and caves to better purify the air. For the same reason, nose hair will become thicker and longer. 3. Light. They will increase in size and have a denser circulatory system, which will allow them to extract from the air what small amount of oxygen that remains in it. 4. Liver. Since its function is to purify the blood, it will increase to a huge size in order to filter poisonous substances more successfully. 5. Skin. Will become rougher, with areas of keratinization to avoid burns from chemical pollutants in the atmosphere. 6. Appendix. It will again become a working body, helping to process food, which by then will become exclusively vegetable (as meat will become unfit for consumption due to environmental pollution). 7. Bone structure. The person will become slender and undersized. This will be caused by a relative lack of vitamin D (due to reduced sunlight and a poorer diet). 8. Hair. Disappear due to strong climate warming. 9. Ears. Increased environmental noise pollution will lead to wrinkling of the ears, making them more dog-like. A person will be able to raise them to listen and lower them to reduce noise. 10. Character. The person will be a little crazy. This will be caused by the presence of toxic substances in food (which can already be observed in those people whose food contains a high percentage of mercury) 11. Respiratory apparatus. Immediately after birth, a person will be attached to a special apparatus for some time, which will help him breathe during the first weeks of life. 12. Kidneys. They will acquire a new function - the extraction of water from the urine and the preservation of water in the body. Instead of liquid, a person will excrete a slurry consisting of uric acid and toxic substances.
