is the sum of the total of the elements, factors and conditions in the surroundings which may have an impact on the development, action or survival of an organism or group of organisms, such as, we human beings. The Environment

Importance of the natural environment  Natural environment is of crucial importance for social and economic life. We use the living world as a resource for food supply an energy source a source for recreation a major source of medicines natural resources for industrial products In this respect the diversity of nature not only offers man a vast power of choice for his current needs and desires. It also enhances the role of nature as a source of solutions for the future needs and challenges of mankind.

Humans have had the ability to change their environment for thousands of years.  Today this ability is greater than ever.  This is because there are more people living now than ever before and human activity is concentrated in huge cities.  Also, science and technology allow us to interfere with natural processes in more direct ways. Environmental pollution threatens human health. Environment Humans and

Any undesirable change in physical , chemical or biological characteristics of air , land , water or soil, that is likely to have an adverse effect on the natural environment or life, is termed as environment pollution. The three major types of pollutions are: Air Pollution Water Pollution Land (soil) Pollution Environmental Pollution

Air pollution is actually harmful substances in the atmosphere, which damages the environment. With the development of industries, came along the increase in air pollution. Air Pollution

h Polluted air contains one, or more, hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant that creates a hazard to general health. It is usually measured in terms of "particulate matter", or, the number of particles of these potentially hazardous substances as a percentage of air. Air pollution in cities causes a shorter lifespan for city dwellers.  Impact of Air Pollution on Human Health

The key Health Problems caused by Air Pollution Asthma Cancer Respiratory problems Heart disease Birth defects Intellectual disorders Tuberculosis Immune system damage

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water Pollution

of Water Pollution   Infectious diseases such as typhoid and cholera can be contracted from drinking contaminated water.  This is called microbial water pollution.  The human heart and kidney heart s can be adversely affected if polluted water is consumed regularly.  Other health problems associated with polluted water are poor blood circulation, skin lesions, vomiting, and damage to the nervous system.  In fact, the effects of water pollution are said to be the leading cause of death for humans across the globe.

L Land Pollution is the degradation of Earth's land surfaces often caused by human activities and their misuse of land resources. It occurs when waste is not disposed properly. Health hazard disposal of urban and industrial wastes, exploitation of minerals, and improper use of soil by inadequate agricultural practices are a few factors.

Over a long period of time, landfills start to emit landfill gases. Landfill gas is produced due to the anaerobic conditions that organic wastes decomposed in. Most waste buried in landfills give rise to hazardous and toxic liquids known as leachates. These leachates contaminate water sources, like the ground water below the landfills, leading to water pollution. Besides the points mentioned above, it is also important to note that these over-crowded dumps, contaminated sites and careless disposal of waste also contributes to air and water pollution, as well as, acid rain. Impact of Land Pollution

The key Health Problems Caused by Land Pollution Since direct impacts of land pollution are air pollution and water pollution, the key health problems caused by land pollution are same as those of air pollution and water pollution and the additions are increased human injuries, from syringes, broken glass and cans washing onto river banks and beaches.

Environmental Pollution a major concern Abating pollution is an exceptionally important concern because of pollutions’ harmful effects on the person’s health, on climate and on the environment. Everybody is a stakeholder as we are all inhabitants of this one and only mother earth. Everyone should therefore be personally responsible for the upkeep of the environment through cooperation and active participation in making the atmosphere pollution free.

Children may also share the responsibility Lots of people are still unaware of the detrimental effects of pollution. Children can also help controlling pollution by informing and educating people about pollution, in different ways. Some are like these:
