1. Environment can be defined as a sum total of all the
living and non-living elements and their effects that
influence human life. While all living or biotic
elements are animals, plants, forests, fisheries, and
birds, non-living or abiotic elements include water,
land, sunlight, rocks, and air.

2. Causes of Environment Degradation
4 types pollutions are
route cause of Environmental degradation

3. Air pollution: Burning fossil fuels, Mining operations, Exhaust gases from
industries and factories & burning dry waste in dumping grounds or in
incinerators.
Water pollution : Dumping solid wastes in water bodies, Disposing untreated
industrial sewage into water bodies, Human and animal wastes
Soil pollution, also called soil contamination, refers to the degradation
of land due to the presence of chemicals or other man-made substances in
the soil.
Noise pollution refers to the excessive amount of noise in the surrounding
that disrupts the natural balance. Usually, it is man-made, though certain
natural calamities like volcanoes can contribute to noise pollution.

5. Electronic waste or e-waste is generated when electronic and electrical equipment become
unfit for their originally intended use or have crossed the expiry date.
Computers, servers, mainframes, monitors, compact discs (CDs), printers, scanners, copiers,
calculators, fax machines, battery cells, cellular phones, transceivers, TVs, iPods,
medical apparatus, washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners
are examples of e-waste (when unfit for use).
e-waste
Dry waste consists of waste that does not decay. It is also known as waste which
cannot be biodegradable. Dry waste consists of paper, glass, thermocol,
Styrofoam, rubber, metal, cloth, empty bottles, stationeries, etc. and can be
recycled into new products further. Before segregating, sharp materials like glass
and other metals shall be kept in a separate bag/container.

6. Dry-waste

8. People may be exposed to disease causing
organisms and other toxins when they bathe in,
irrigate their food with, or consume water that
has been contaminated by Improper managed
Dry Waste in dumping grounds or open in
surroundings
Effects of Dry Waste in
Environment

10. The materials used to build these devices, testing has shown, can poison the soil around
the landfill if there’s a lot of lead and mercury in them.
When e-waste is exposed to the heat, toxic chemicals are released into the air damaging
the atmosphere;
this is one of the biggest environmental impacts of e-waste.
Those toxic materials can then seep into the groundwater, affecting both land and sea
animals.
Electronic waste can also contribute to air pollution.
