Harmful Effects

of Mixtures
 IF A MIXTURE FAILS TO
HEALTH AND SAFETY ARE MEET SAFETY
VITAL IN THE PRODUCTION STANDARDS, IT
OF MIXTURES. BECOMES HARMFUL TO
HUMAN HEALTH AND
THE ENVIRONMENT.
 Here are the most devastating mixtures that humans
have made . . .
Leaded Gasoline Soda Pollution
LEADED GASOLINE
Leaded Gasoline
• Humans rely on
engines for progress.
• Engines are used for
transportation and
manufacturing, and
power supply
Leaded Gasoline
• Not so long ago,
engine had problem
• Engines produced
sharp sound that
damages the engine
Leaded Gasoline
•To prevent the
damage, leaded
gasoline was
used.
Leaded Gasoline

•Lead is a
toxic
substance
Leaded Gasoline
•Leaded gasoline
has high level of
toxicity
Leaded Gasoline
•When lead is
inhaled or ingested,
it endangers all the
system of the body
•Especially the
nervous system
Leaded Gasoline
•Leaded gasoline
is phased out in
Philippines
•But some
countries still use
it.
SODA (CARBONATED DRINK)
 Soda (Carbonated Drink)
• Soda contains substances dangerous to human health:

Phosphoric Acid Sugar Caffeine

Phosphoric Acid
•Decreases the body’s
ability to use calcium
•Can lead to
weakening of the
bones and softening
of teeth
Sugar
•High sugar intake
increases insulin level
•Can result to
hypertension, heart
disease, diabetes, and
weight gain.
Caffeine
•Can cause insomnia,
hypertension,
irregular heartbeat,
and high cholesterol
level.
POLLUTION
Pollution
• Pollution occurs when contaminant mix with
natural environment
• Pollution is harmful to living and nonliving things
• Pollution causes harm to humans and the
environment
Sewage
•Human, animal, and
laundry waste
•Factories also throw
their waste into
bodies of water
•Pasig river
•One of the most
polluted rivers in the
world
•Biologically dead
Oil Spill
•Oil does not dissolve
in water
•Prevents sunlight
from passing
through, endangering
plants and animals
that needs light
Eutrophication
•Farms use fertilizer
to make the soil
fertile
•Some fertilizer can
run-off into waters
Eutrophication
•Excessive nutrients
from fertilizers can
cause
eutrophication.
Eutrophication
•Eutrophication can cause algal blooms
•Algae consumes all the oxygen and sunlight
•What will happen to other aquatic
organisms when there is algal bloom?
Mine Tailing
• Mud like substance
that is produced when
mining
Mine Tailing
•Some minerals
that are used in
mining go to
waste
Mine Tailing
•One of the biggest
environmental
problem
•Kills the land where
plants can no longer
grow
Insecticide and
Pesticide
•Used in agriculture
•Also harmful
Insecticide and
Pesticide
•Can destroy the soil
•Make the soil less
fertile; unsuitable
for planting
Disposing of waste
on land
•Brings serious
health problem
•Dumpsites and
landfills produce
very bad smell
Disposing of waste
on land
•Can be breeding
ground for pests and
insects that bring
diseases.
Air Pollution
Greenhouse Effect
