Question

Mention the major reason for environmental problems?

Answer 1

The major reason for environmental problems are as follows:

• Population explosion and industrial revolution have increased the demand for environmental resources
• The intensive and extensive extraction of both renewable and non-renewable resources has exhausted some of the vital resources.
• Extinction of many resources and the continuously rising population has also resulted in an environmental crisis.
• Due to the affluent consumption and production standard of the developed world, the waste generated is beyond the absorptive capacity of the environment.
• The development process has polluted the environment, water, and atmosphere and there is a decline in air and water quality. It has resulted in an increased incidence of respiratory and water-borne diseases.
