Anthropogenic

- designates an effect of object resulting from human activity.

- it also means created by people or caused by human activities.

- effects, processes, or materials are those that are derived from human activities, as opposed to those occurring in biophysical environments without human influence.

lead to: Air Pollution Land Pollution Water Pollution Global Warming Ozone Depletion

Air Pollution- is the accumulation in

the atmosphere of substances that, in sufficient concentrations, endanger human health or produce other measured effects on living matter and other materials.

Examples of Air Pollution

Land Pollution- is the degradation of the

Earth’s land surface through misuse of the soil by poor agricultural practices, mineral exploitation, industrial waste dumping, and indiscriminate disposal of urban waste.

Example of Land Pollution

Water Pollution- is the introduction of

fresh or ocean waters of chemicals, physical, or biological material that degrades the quality of the water and affects the organisms living in it.

Examples of Water Pollution

- is when the earth heats up. It happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature.

Global Warming

Greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the sun’s heat and light is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere.

Greenhouse gases are gases in the earth’s atmosphere that collects heat and light from the sun.

The Clean Air Act- is making the companies

change their products to decrease the problem in global warming.

Stop Global Warming!

WARNING: Contains or manufactured with (the chemical would go here. For example chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), a

substance which harms public health and theenvironment by destroying ozone in the upper atmosphere.

refers to the chemically induced breakup of those molecules in the stratosphere, the area of the atmosphere about six miles above the earth.

Ozone Depletion

Chlorofluorocarbons interact with O3.

- the replacement of O3 with O2 and free O molecules meant an increase in the sun’s ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth, and consequently increasing the possibility of skin cancer and other dangers to human health.
