    Population Growth and Environmental Pressure Session 12

    Uploaded by

    Andres Herrera Yela
    The document discusses how population growth can negatively impact the environment through increased consumption of natural resources like land, food, water, and fossil fuels as well as increased waste production. As populations increase, more pressure is placed on the environment as more land and resources are used for agriculture, energy, and other human activities. Some specific environmental pressures from population growth mentioned include increased greenhouse gas emissions, depletion of the ozone layer, increased waste production and pollution of air and water. The document suggests ways to mitigate these impacts, such as decreasing fossil fuel use, changing consumption habits to reduce plastic waste, educating people to reduce unsustainable birthrates and increase environmental awareness.

    Is the increase
    in the number
    Population Growth of people
    living in a
    particular area

    As the population increase in Natural Resources


    exponential way decrease very fast
    Impact of growth population
    on the environment

    Takes two major


    forms

    Consumption of
    Waste production
    resources

    Consequence of
    Land, food, water,
    consumption, can pollute
    air, fossil fuels.
    the air, soil and water.
    Population growth has had a negative impact on
    the quality of the environment

    As more population, land and other natural


    resources are used for agriculture, energy
    generation or any human activity.

    These has an important impact in to the nature


    and create environmental pressure.
    Factor of population growth related to
    environmental pressure

    Population Population
    Population zize
    composition consumption

    As more bigger As more


    More generations
    more environmental consumption more
    living at the same
    pressure waste
    Environmental pressure are
    factors that can cause changes
    in to the environment.

    Environmental pressure reflect


    the impact of human activities in
    to the environment, that can
    create environmental problems.
    Air emissions discharged into the
    environment

    Generation of wastewater

    Generation of waste

    Use and emition of heavy metal


    compounds

    Use of ozone depleting substances

    Use of forest and mineral resources


    Climate change and global warming

    Depletion of ozone layer

    Waste production and disposal

    Loss of biodiversity

    Pollution of water and air

    Decrease of water sources


    Climate change and global warming

    • Increase the production of greenhouse gases

    Depletion of ozone layer

    • Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons gases in aerosol spray


    and refrigerants break down ozone molecules in the
    atmosphere
    Research and use of clean energy
    •Decrease the use of fossil fuels
    •Decrease the production of greenhouse gases

    Change the consumption habits of people


    •Decrease the use of plastic
    •Decrease the generation of waste

    Education
    •Reduce un-sustainable birthrates
    •Increase people's environmental awareness
