Abstract:
Earth is a unique planet in the solar system with the physical facilities to support
life and life systems which took millions of years to reach the present stage of living. The
foundation of human civilization marked the beginning of damage to the delicate natural system
gradually as man tried more and more to explore from the nature to satisfy his needs and
comfort. But unlimited exploitation of nature by man disturbed the ecological balance between
the living and non living components of bio sphere. The unfavorable conditions created by man
himself threatened the survival of man as well as other living organisms. Rapid growth of human
population coupled with way to attain high standards of living through technological
advancement has resulted in widespread contamination of the environment at the global level.
The life supporting systems have been going to be collapsed due to rapid industrialization,
wanton exploitation of natural resources and excessive use of environmentally abhorrent
materials
