ECOSYSTEM (Part-II)

The cause of air pollution is the mixing of harmful particles, smoke, and toxic gases in the air for various types of health. These unwanted substances create air pollution due to modern industrialisation, gases generated from the fuel of factories and vehicles, etc.

Lichens start dying when the amount of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere is high. Thus, it indicates an excess amount of sulphur dioxide in the air.

The paper and pulp industry mainly produces the organic pollutant cellulose.

The systematic name of Ammonia is nitrogen trihydride which is widely used in many industrial processes and as a fertilizer and refrigerant. Ammonia is a colourless, pungent, suffocating, highly water-soluble, gaseous compound, usually produced by the direct combination of nitrogen and hydrogen.

The full form of COD is Chemical Oxygen Demand, and the full form of SPM is Suspended Particulate Matter.

The narrow area of contact between land, air, and water is called the biosphere. The biosphere is the area of living beings. The Earth’s lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and the plants and animals living in it are collectively called ‘Biosphere’.

There are mainly two components in an environment. There are biotic components and abiotic components. Abiotic components include water, land, air, energy or heat, etc. Therefore, Heat 1 is called the abiotic component of an environment.

The ecosystem is a composition made up of biotic and abiotic components. For example, plants and animals are biotic or abiotic components, whereas soil, air, sunlight, water, heat, organic and inorganic substances, etc., are biotic or abiotic components.
