Air Cleanliness: Pollution from the gasoline dispensing facilities can be controlled. It helps to keep the air cleaner and the water cleaner around the environment concerned. The air pollution can be controlled by installing a type of vapor recovery system where the fumes are tracked. Special Air pollution testing programs will be contacted once every year to certify that the installed systems are functioning properly. This is controlled by the Underground Gasoline Storage Tank program of the State or Federal monitoring system. The Stage II system prevents fumes from escaping at public gas station tanks to pollute the air.

September is Pollution Prevention Month, and the perfect time to freshen up your water protection practices. YOU can make a difference. As rain flows over rooftops, lawns, driveways and streets as stormwater, it picks up pollutants along the journey back to waterways that are the sources of our drinking water. But if each of us follows these important tips, we can protect water for all. Learn more about small steps you can take that add up to big results. https://bit.ly/4fvHQRH #NorthGaWater #Atlanta #WaterConservation #WaterProtection #Stormwater

Use the water responsibly

Wastewater is a stage in the water cycle, a valuable resource.

There is water everywhere but there's no water to drink. Only about 1% of the hydrosphere constitute available fresh surface water fit for human consumption. At the Sustainable Environment School Initiative, we understand the importance of drinking water as we pursue the UN SDG goals 13, 14 & 15 in our efforts to stop pollution and reduce #globalwarming through sensitisation of students and planting of trees. We feature a wide range of trainings and practical projects designed to advance their knowledge and skills to mitigate the impact of #climateChange.

In this video, I have discussed the challenges of water pollution and effective disinfection methods. Check it out on my YouTube channel.

Track cause and effect relationships with Active Maps, this short example combines land based air pollution data with vessel tracking to better visualise and understand the effect of ships entering and leaving the port on air quality around the port.

#InternationalDayOfActionForRivers is on 14th March. We must take action to protect our rivers and all forms of water bodies from the various forms of pollution they are subjected to. We cannot survive without water, taking action isn’t merely necessary-it’s essential. https://lnkd.in/grTN9_t #InternationalDayofActionforRivers #dayofactionforrivers #DayofActionforRivers2024

We are all responsible for our lives! Every organism depends on a clean water supply for survival. Human beings use billions of gallons every day. After use, wastewater can carry harmful chemicals and bacteria that damage the environment. Proper treatment is necessary to prevent wastewater problems. Environmentally, water wastage contributes to water scarcity, depletion of natural resources, and damage to aquatic life and ecosystems. Economically, it leads to increased water bills and costs, loss of revenue for businesses, and decreased agricultural production. Bacteria, viruses and disease-causing pathogens can pollute beaches and contaminate shellfish populations, leading to restrictions on human recreation, drinking water consumption and shellfish consumption; Metals, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium and arsenic can have acute and chronic toxic effects on species. Furthermore, in places where clean water is scarce, overusing or wasting household water limits the availability of it for other communities to use for drinking, cleaning, cooking, or growing—and thus contributes to disease, illness, or agricultural scarcity and starvation. #water #wastemanagement #sustainbility
