Non Material Pollution
Non-Material Pollution
The Non-material Pollution is of the following types:
(i) Radiation Pollution.
(ii) Noise Pollution.
(iii) Thermal Pollution.
Radiation Pollution.
Some Radioactive elements emit Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Rays.
Alpha- Rays and Beta Rays, do not penetrate deeply into the body tissues; however, the Gamma Rays Penetrate into the Body-tissues and Cause Damage, even though sometimes death may occur.
Because of radiation Cancer and Leukemia, diseases are produced
Melanoma Cancer is considered the most dangerous form of skin cancer which is caused by the Ultraviolet radiation of the Sun, tanning beds, etc.

Sources of Radiation Pollution
Radiations Pollution comes from Natural and Man-made Sources.
Natural sources of Radiation Pollution include cosmic radiation from the sun and other stars, as well as naturally present radon gas that seeps
out of the ground.
Human-made sources include nuclear power
plants, nuclear weapons testing, and medical procedures that use radiation,
such as X-rays and CT scans.
Natural Sources
The Natural Sources of Radiation Pollution include Cosmic
Radiation, Radon Gas, and Naturally Occurring Elements Present in Soil, Water, and
Rocks.
Cosmic Radiation
Comosmic Radiation Comes through Sun and outer space. it is divided into two types Galactic Cosmic Radiation, and Solar Cosmic Radiation.
Galactic Cosmic Radiation
Galactic Cosmic Radiation includes high-energy Particles mostly protons come from outer space outside of the solar system.
these rays travel with the speed of light and are thought to be produced by the supernova explosion and other astrophysical events such as the gamma-ray burst active nuclei.
Noise Pollution.
Noise is the Unwanted sound that disturbs Man's environment.
In big cities, the noise of Traffic, Machines, and Aeroplanes take part in pollution.
It is a terrible and serious problem; because it causes Heart and Mental disturbance, and man gets in various diseases.
The constant sound is dangerous for physical and mental health.
High noise damages the hearing and sometimes permanent damage to the hearing takes place.
Thermal Pollution
The industries, Thermal Power Station and Nuclear-reactors produce heat in a huge amounts.
In these industries, water is used for the Cooling System; The warm water is discharged to the Lakes, Streams, and Rivers.
The heat is dangerous for Aquatic plants and animals; in this way, they lose their lives, Because of that, it is called thermal pollution.
