Terminologies
This document defines key terms related to hazards, disasters, and disaster management:
Hazard refers to events that can cause injuries, damage property, and harm the environment. Vulnerability describes factors that reduce a community's ability to prepare for or respond to hazards. Capacities are abilities that increase a community's ability to deal with hazards. A disaster is a serious disruption that exceeds a community's ability to cope using its own resources. Risk is the chance that hazards will negatively impact vulnerable areas, people, property, and the environment.
1-3 Pollution Notes
Pollution is defined as contamination of the environment by chemicals, noise, or heat that are harmful to humans or other organisms. There are two main types of pollution sources: point sources like smokestacks, and nonpoint sources like water runoff. It is more effective and less costly to prevent pollution than to clean it up after the fact. Major causes of environmental problems include exponential population growth, wasteful resource use, poverty, and failure to include environmental costs in market prices. Different cultures and individuals can have varying environmental worldviews, ranging from viewing humans as separate from and in charge of nature, to seeing humans as responsible stewards of the earth, to recognizing humanity's interdependence with nature.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms within a species, ecosystem, biome or entire planet. It is a measure of ecosystem health. Habitat destruction, introduced invasive species, climate change, overpopulation, and hybridization are key factors threatening biodiversity. Habitat destruction damages natural habitats making them unable to support native species. Invasive species are the second largest threat after habitat destruction and threaten more species than pollution, disease, and harvesting combined. Climate change affects plants and animals that are sensitive to temperature and climate fluctuations. Overpopulation stresses environmental resources. Hybridization has reduced huge gene pools of wild and indigenous species in agriculture and animal husbandry. Conservation aims to sustain biodiversity through protection of species, ecosystems and evolutionary processes
Environmental Hygiene
The document discusses environmental hygiene and environmental health. It defines key terms like hygiene, environment, health, disease, and risk. It outlines the main objectives and classification of environmental health science. It discusses the importance of studying environmental factors and their routes of exposure. It also explains concepts of prevention at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels, with a focus on primary prevention measures like health promotion and specific protection.
Miss imvu-earth-india-presenation (1)
Human activities can negatively impact the environment by producing waste that disrupts ecosystem services like nutrient cycling, water regulation, and climate control. Ecosystems provide supporting, provisioning, and regulating services that are essential for survival, but improper waste disposal dumps pollution on land and in water bodies, interrupting resource cycles and harming flora, fauna, air, water, and soil. Maintaining discipline in proper waste management is important for taking care of the environment.
Environment and Human Health PPT
The document discusses the relationship between the environment and human health. It states that a polluted environment poses serious threats to human existence, as environmental degradation from factors like pollution, overpopulation, urbanization, and depletion of natural resources negatively impact human health.

Sanitation
Environmental health deals with preventing disease by managing the environment and behaviors that expose people to disease. The relationship between man, disease agents, and environment is represented by a triad. By manipulating the environment, people can block disease entry and prevent infection. However, failing to clean the environment allows breeding of disease vectors like mosquitoes, increasing disease risk. Environmental sanitation focuses on factors like water, food, waste disposal, insects and housing that can impact health. Food safety requires proper sourcing, preparation, cooking, and storage of food to prevent food-borne illness.
Horticulture and the enviroment By Allah Dad Khan
Horticulture and the environment are interrelated because horticulture activities can impact both biotic and abiotic environmental factors. Key issues in the relationship between horticulture and the environment include intensive land use, integrated pest management, public demand, and new technologies which can benefit horticulture but also create environmental concerns. Horticulture provides benefits to the environment such as erosion control, pollution absorption, and wildlife habitat, but can also harm the environment through excessive pesticide use, soil erosion, and groundwater depletion if not properly managed. Non-point source pollution from horticulture activities like nutrient runoff and pesticide leaching can damage the environment and pest populations if not addressed, while point source pollution comes from identifiable localized sources
