Objective
Identify types of pollution and pollutants; specify pollutant sources; classify pollutants as biodegradable or non-biodegradable; explain environmental effects and identify pollution-control measures.
Content
Water pollution, including sewage and oil pollution.
Objective
Identify sources and effects of water pollution and measures for controlling it.
Content
Soil pollution, including oil spillage and biodegradable and non-biodegradable pollutants.
Objective
Identify types and sources of soil pollution; classify pollutants; explain their environmental effects and measures for control.
