Earth Science - STEM

2. INTRODUCTION
• Modernization and progress
have had its share of
disadvantages and one of the
main aspects of concern is the
pollution it is causing to the
earth – be it land, air, and
water.

3. INTRODUCTION

and disposal is improperly done, it
can cause serious impacts on
health and problems to the
surrounding environment.

4. LEARNING
COMPETENCY
• Explain how
different types of
waste affect
people’s health and
the environment.

5. GATHERING
IDEAS

lesson today?

9. INTERACTIVE
DISCUSSION

10. EFFECTS OF
WASTES ON
PEOPLES’ HEALTH

11. EFFECTS OF
WASTE
• In particular, Organic
domestic waste poses
a serious threat, since
they ferment, creating
conditions favorable to
the survival and growth
of microbial pathogens.

12. EFFECTS OF
WASTE
•Exposure to
hazardous waste can
affect human health,
children being more
vulnerable to these
pollutants.

13. EFFECTS OF
WASTE
•Waste from
agriculture and
industries can also
cause serious health
risks.

14. EFFECTS OF
WASTE
•Waste dumped near a
water source also
causes contamination
of the water body or
the ground water
source.

15. EFFECTS OF
WASTE
• Disposal of hospital
and other medical
waste requires special
attention since this can
create major health
hazards.

16. EFFECTS OF
WASTE
•Waste treatment
and disposal sites
can also create health
hazards for the
neighborhood.

17. EFFECTS OF
WASTE
•Recycling too carries
health risks if proper
precautions are not
taken.

18. SUMMARY

20. PROCESS QUESTION
•In your
opinion, how
can we deal
with this
kind of
problems?

21. EFFECTS OF
WASTE ON THE
ENVIRONMENT

22. EFFECTS OF WASTE
•The waste humans
generate waste has been
detrimental to our
environment for quite some
time now.

23. CLIMATE
CHANGE
• What we have failed to do
is to put into action the
ideas we believe will help us
mitigate or adapt to climate
change. Case in point: the
trash that is dumped in
landfills releases methane
gas.

24. WILDLIFES
• Simply put, it affects the
people who depend on
the ocean for their
livelihoods. They cannot
distinguish between what
is or isn’t food.
