CHAPTER Environment syllabus depletion, environment. Definitions, need of environmental studies, Segments of environment ~ Biosphere, Environmental Issues - Green house effects, Climate change, Global warming, Acid rain ozone layer Nuclear accident, Concept of 4R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover), Public awareness about ‘Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere, —<— ‘Syllabus Topic : Definition, Need of Environmental Studies ee Need/Scope of Environmental Studies (6) Lithosphere " (@) Biosphere (Ret. Sec. 1.2) List segments of Environment. (Ref. Sec. 1.2) Environment mainly comprises of = ‘Environment’ is a subject matter not only of sciences but also of the social studies and humanities. To study environment, one has to know the subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology and geography. To save our environment, one also has to study the social sciences like resource management, economics and population issues of country. — So the study of environment has a very wide scope and it covers almost all the disciplines of pure as well as applied sciences. ‘Syllabus Topic : Segments of Environment ~ Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere, Biosphere 1 Segments of Environment Re 1S De 2. > > 1. Atmosphere 2. Hydrosphere 3. Lithosphere 4, Biosphere 1. Atmosphere ‘The Greek word ‘atmo’ means air. The atmosphere is the body of air which surrounds our Planet. ‘The atmosphere comprises of 78% Nitrogen gas, 21% oxygen and 0.9% argon. Trace gases like carbon oxide, nitrous oxides, methane and ozone comprise about a tenth of 1% of the atmosphere. 2. Hydrosphere ‘The Greek word ‘Hydro’ means water. The hydrosphere comprises of all the water bodies on or below the surface of the earth. It includes the oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, snow, ice, underground and atmospheric water (moisture in the atmosphere) too. ‘An enormous mass of water is concentrated in oceans and seas, This occupies 71% of the surface of the ¥ Environmental Studies (MSBTE) us Se, x chemical globe. 97% of the world’s water is comprised in the |. S*eCshtion . Povey SS + oceans. Two-and-a-half % is fresh water. However, totally water accounts for only 0.023% of the earth's total mass. 3. Lithosphere ‘The word lithosphere is derived from the word ‘sphere’ combined with the Greek word ‘lithos’ meaning rock. The lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth. It includes Barth's crust (the “skin” of rock on the outer layer of planet Earth), as well as the underlying cool, dense, and rigid upper part of the upper mantle. The lithosphere extends from the surface of Barth to a depth of about 44-62 mi (70-100 km). This relatively cool and rigid section of Earth is believed to “float” on top of the warmer, non-rigid, and partially melted material directly below. The thickness of the crust varies. ‘The lithosphere is just one of Earth’s five great spheres. The lithosphere interacts with the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere to influence the climate and landscape of our planet. 4. Biosphere The biosphere is the life-supporting stratum of earth's surface. It extends from a few kilometers into the atmosphere to the depths of the ocean where marine life abounds. Its a global ecosystem composed of living organisms (biota) and the abiotic (non-living) factors from which they derive energy and nutrients. All the four spheres interact and interlink with each other, nourish each other and are dependent on each other. This interlinkage can be understood even in a piece of soil. ‘The soil will contain mineral matter from the lithosphere, the moisture within the soil is matter from the hydrosphere, the insects and plants in the soil ‘comprise the biosphere and the pockets of air between the soil particles. aoe Core Fig. 1.2.1 : Segments of Environment Syllabus Topic : Public Awareness about Environment —_—_————— ES 1.3. Public Awareness about Environment aS Q.1.3.1 Why public awareness about Environmental Protection is essential ? How is t created ? (Ret. Sec. 1.3) 1.3.1 Need for Public Awareness To make the public aware about the need to protest ht natural environment they must be told about the value of natural environment. Our natural environment has two NP of values which are quantitative and qualitative. 1.3.2 Methods of Creating Awareness ~ In our countty mass media like news papers and television have a very high influence general public. ‘ ‘The State and the Central Government shovld “ leading part in creating the awareness 20" people, ea ‘The public movements like “Sardar Saro' ‘ai Silent ValleyProject (near Palghat in the | WB cnvicnmoral susies SETE) Chipko Andolan in Uttarkhand which was headed by a strong nature lover Mr. Sunderlal Bahuguna. ‘These activities, not only help to solve the local problem, but they also help to generate awareness among the people living far from these problem areas. = Together with the Government activities, the Non- Government organizations can take up this issue and conserve the environment. Syllabus Topic : Environmental Issue: 1.4 _ Environmental Issues 1441 Introduction to Environmental Issues —5 The environmental issues are the after effects of Also infra red rays, reradiated from atmosphere when reach earth, meet insufficient amount of water vapours and carbon dioxide, and hence these IR radiations also remain partially unabsorbed. -. 1 at this stage if these radiations escape the lower auuosphere, it would disturb greenhouse effect, which ‘iti lead to further fall in temperature, and this will curbireduce evaporation of water. ~. Téerefore, infrared radiations absorbing water vapours Wii reduce in the atmosphere. ‘Teas will also cause cooling. In the stratosphere there ‘weatt be significant moisture to rainout the thick soot. Se due to nuclear explosi 3, a phenomenon opposite to global warming will occur. Such a phenomenon is, called as “Nuclear Winter”. = The modem fusion bombs (nuclear bombs) are of explosive force of 500 kilotons and 10 megatons. ‘Nuclear bombardment will cause combustion of wood, plastics, petroleum, forests etc. 1.7.2 Effects on Climate and Environment It results in lowering the global temperature, Itdrastically affects crop production. Crop productivity will reduce substantially causing famines and human suffering, It causes infertility of soil, Itaffects water for long persisting adverse effects. Environment Example 1 The Chernobyl nuclear 1986 has resulted in wide spread contamination by radioactive substances. The devastation caused by nuclear bombs is not only immediate but may be long lasting. Towards, the end of World War I, bombing of Dresden, Germany caused huge firestorms. This caused particle laden updrafts in the atmosphere. q Example 2 In nuclear holocaust in Japan 1945, two nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities in Japan, One fission bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. This holocaust (large scale destruction of human lives by fire) killed about 1, 00,000 people and destroyed the city. This forceful explosion emitted neutrons and gamma radiations. It had a force of 12 kilotons of ‘Trinitrotoluene (TNT). The radioactive Strontium (°°Sr) liberated in the explosion resembles calcium and had the property of replacing calcium of the bones. As a result large scale bone deformities occurred in the inhabitants of these cities. Even after more than 50 years the impacts of nuclear fallout are still visible. ‘Syllabus Topic : Concept of 4R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover) 1.8 Control Measures . 1.8.1 List 4R and explain each in contra with Environmental lssues. (Ret. Sec. 1.8) 1. Control Measures through the concept of 4R 2. Control Measures through Environmental Education F cnrmers sues SET = Control Measures through the concept of 4R. Good Practice of waste ms ‘Four principle of waste reduction are, 1 Reduce agement (4) 2 Reuse 3 Recycle 4 Recover (@)4R HY REUSE REDUCE RECYCIE (b) 3R Fig. 1.8.1 : Principle for control of damage to Environment 1.8.1 Reduce — If we avoid making garbage, we need not worry about disposing of waste or recycling it later. ~ Changing the habits of shopping, working and playing can reduce our waste, There's a ton of ways to reduce waste, saving some time and money and being good to the Earth at the same time — By reducing and reusing, consumers and industry can save natural resources and reduce waste management costs. Waste prevention, or source reduction, is the strategy behind reducing and reusing waste, 18 Environmey _ py designing, manufacturing, purchasing, or usiy } materials in ways that generate less Waste, fey, natural resources are used. 1.8.1.1 Advantages 1 (i) Saves natural resources : Throughout the life cycley ( a product from extraction of raw materials transportation, processing, manufacturing and then en use, waste is generated. Reusing items or making then with less material decreases waste dramatically : Ultimately, fewer materials will need to be recycled, combusted for energy, or land filled. 1 (ii) Reduces toxicity of waste : Sharing products the contain hazardous chemicals instead of throwing ou ( leftovers, using the smallest amount necessary we can reduce waste toxicity. ii) Reduces cost : Preventing waste also can mean ( economic -savings for communities, businesses, organizations, and individual consumers. é 1.82 Reuse Reuse is the best policy for resource conservation. To 4 Teuse is to use an item again after is been used. This includes conventional reuse where the item is used again for the same function and new-life reuse where it is used for a different function. Example of. conventional reuse is refillable milk bottles, retreading of tires and the use of returnable/reusable plastic boxes, shipping container etc, Scientific research has shown that re-using a product can reduce CO» emissions ‘and carbon footprint bY more than 50% relative to the complete product lif cycle, Rising wages and consequent consumer demand disposable products has made the reuse of low v8 items uneconomic, ut cure rn But current environmental awareness is grit hanging attitudes and regulations, such as the Environmental Studies (MSBTE) packaging regulations, are gradually beginning (© reverse the situation. 1.8.2.1 Advantages (Reuse help save time, money, energy, and resources. Gi) Reuse reduced disposal needs and costs (ii Refurbishment can bring. sophisticated, sustainable, ‘well paid jobs to underdeveloped economies: (iv) Reusable products are often cheaper than the many single use products it replaces. 4.8.2.2 Disadvantages (@ Sorting and preparing items for reuse takes time, which ‘may be inconvenient for consumers and costs money for businesses. (@ Reuse often requires cleaning or transport, which have ceavironmental costs. (Gil) In general, reusable products need to be more durable than single-use products, and hence require more ‘material per item. 1.8.2.3 Reuse Techniques Reuse Techniques: (@) Reuse centres and virtual exchange | (b) Deposit programs (c) Closed-loop programs (@) Reiling programs (c) Regiving (reiting) (f) Printer cartridges and toners reuse (g) Repurposing Fig. 1.8.2 : Reuse techniques ‘> (@ Reuse centres and virtual exchange = Reuse centres facilitate the redistribution of unwanted, yet perfectly usable, materials and equipment from one entity to another. They take possession of the donated eee ws Eee Environment them avail \s and sale Virtual exchanges allow users to post listings of ‘materials available and wanted on an online materials exchange website without taking physical possession of material (b) Deposit programs It offers customers a financial incentive to return packaging for reuse. Statistics show that, on average, @ milk bottle is returned 12 times. Sainsbury Ltd. have operated a plastic carrier bag cash refund scheme that saved 970 tonnes of plastic per annum. In India and Pakistan, manufacturers collect and refill old glass’ bottles for selling cola and other drinks “Kabadiwalas” buy old newspapers from the readers for scrap value and reuse them as packaging or recycle them. (© Closed-loop programs ‘This method applies primarily to items of packaging, where a company is involved in the regular transportation of goods from a central manufacturing facility to warehouses or warehouses to retail outlets. For example cold drinks, milk, vegetables, etc. are transported in reusable plastic crates or pallets. (@) Refilling programs It encourages packaging, reuse by customers, For example refills of liquid soaps and cleaning materials, insects killers, cooking oils ete, ‘This saving in packing being passed onto the customer by lower shelf prices, This avoids the transport cost and emissions of returning the reusable package to the factory. (e) Regiving (regifting) Items, such as clothes and children’s toys, often become unwanted before they wear out due to changes in their owner's needs or preferences; these can be reused by selling or giving them to new owners. ¥ Environmental Studies (MSBTE) > (© Printer cartridges and toners reuse Printer ink cartridges can be reused. The companies that created these cartridges can refill and sold back to .s are recycled the same way consumers. Toner cartridge: as ink cartridges. — This method is highly efficient as there is no energy spent on melting and recreating the cartridges. > () Repurposing = Repurposing means using a tool usually for a purpose unintended by the original tool-maker. — Examples of repurposing include using tires as boat fenders and steel drums as feeding troughs. — Similarly fly-ash produced by power plants is used extensively as an additive to concrete, providing increased strength. 1.8.3 Recycling = Recycling is breaking down of an item into raw ‘materials which are then used to make new potentially useful materials. Recyclable materials include many Kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources. Collecting used bottles, cans, and newspapers and taking them to the curb or to a collection facility is just the first in a series of steps that generates a host of financial, environmental, and social returns. Recycling of a material may produce a fresh Supply of the same material-for example used office paper would be converted into new office paper, or used foamed polystyrene into new polystyrene. ‘Sometimes recycling is difficult or too expensive so “recycling” of many products or materials may involve their reuse in producing different materials (eg. paperboard) instead, ‘Another form of recycling is the salvage of certain materials from complex products, either due to their intrinsic value e.g,, lead from car batteries, or gold from computer components, or due to their hazardous Environ nature (€. items). Recycling is a key component of modem yq reduction and is the third component of the “Rey Reuse, Recycle” waste hierarchy. 1.8.3.1 Advantages moval and reuse of mercury fom yi, Y @ (i Recycling reduces the consumption of fresh p,% " materials. (i) Itreduce energy usage. (iii) It reduce air pollution (from incineration). (iy) It reduces water pollution by reducing the need j ’ conventional waste disposal. (v) It lowers greenhouse gas emissions as compared virgin production. ‘According to a study following is the cost effectivenss of recycling : Table 1.8.1 ‘Material | Energy savings | Air pollution savings| Aluminium 95% 95% | Cardboard 24% = | Glass 5-30% 20% | Paper 40% 3% | Plastics 10% = Steel 60% ll | _ 1.8.3.2 Disadvantages Critics ‘dispute the net economic and environmea® benefits of recycling over its costs. According to critics a « fa t @ must consider following points. 3 (The costs and energy used in collection transportation detract from (and outweigh) the and energy saved in the production process. (ii)_ The jobs produced by the recycling industry oe Poor trade for the jobs lost in logging, minisé other industries associated with virgin productio™ © covicrenta Suces MSSTE) 1 (iii) Materials such as paper pulp can only be recycled a few times before material degradation prevents further recycling 1.8.4 Recover ‘The 4 R's “Recover” provides at ecologically sound and environmentally friendly approach to minimizing and waste and waste streams. RECOVER is to convert waste into resources (such as electricity, heat, compost and fuel) through thermal and biological means. Resource Recovery occurs after reduce, reuse and recycle have been attempted. Most favoured ‘option Disposal Fig. 1.8.3 Recovery is when most of the material thrown as garbage is used and processed in ways other than being. destroyed. When it is not possible to reuse or recycle objects - such as mobile phones, computers, televisions and other electronic gadgets, all of which may contain toxic clements, recovery is the last option. This means tuming waste into a fuel for manufacturing processes after removing all the individual components that may be used again. €.g.The waste is sent to scrap dealers, can be a source to recover gold and silver from the contacts, copper from the PCBs, all the metal from the casings, the plugs and sockets etc. which can all be re-used.
