Introduction To Environment
• The natural environment encompasses
all living and non-living things occurring
naturally on Earth or some region
thereof. It is an environment that
encompasses the interaction of all living
species. Climate, weather, and natural
resources that affect human survival and
economic activity.
• Environment is living things and what is
around them.It includes physical, chemical and
other natural forces. Living things do not
simply exist in their environment. They
constantly interact with it. Organisms change
in response to conditions in their environment.
In the environment there are interactions
between plants, animals, soil, water,
temperature, light, and other living and non-
• There are three types of environmental
pollution:
• 1)Air pollution
• 2)Water pollution
• 3)Soil pollution

AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution is the introduction
of particulates, biological
molecules, or other harmful
materials into Earth's
atmosphere, causing diseases,
death to humans, damage to
other living organisms such as
animals and food crops, or
the natural or built
environment. Air pollution may
come from anthropogenic or
natural sources.
WATER POLLUTION
Water pollution is
the contamination
of water bodies
(e.g. lakes, rivers, oce
ans, aquifers and gro
undwater). This form
of environmental
degradation occurs
when pollutants are
directly or indirectly
discharged into water
bodies without
adequate
treatment to remove
harmful compounds.
Soil contamination or soil pollution as part of land degradation is caused by the
presence of xeno biotic (human-made) chemicals or other alteration in the
natural soil environment. It is typically caused by industrial activity, agricultural
chemicals, or improper disposal of waste The most common chemicals involved
are petroleum hydrocarbons, poly nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (such as
naphthalene and benzopyrene), solvents, pesticides, lead, and other heavy
metals. Contamination is correlated with the degree of industrialization and
intensity of chemical usage.
