INTRODUCTION (intro, method, procedure, objectives, hypothesis, web, bib, refere

nces)
Over the last three decades there has been increasing global concern over the
public health impacts attributed to environmental pollution, in particular, the
global
burden of disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about a
quarter of the diseases facing mankind today occur due to prolonged exposure to
environmental pollution. Most of these environment-related diseases are however
not easily detected and may be acquired during childhood and manifested later in

adulthood. We know that, a living organism cannot live by itself. Organisms int
eract among themselves. Hence, all organisms, such as plants, animals and human
beings, as well as the physical surroundings with whom we interact, form a part
of our environment. All these constituents of the environment are dependent upon
each other. Thus, they maintain a balance in nature. As we are the only organis
ms try to modify the environment to fulfill our needs; it is our responsibility
to take necessary steps to control the environmental imbalances.Environmental po
llution is defined as the undesirable change in physical, chemical and biologica
l characteristics of our air, land and water. As a result of over-population, ra
pid industrializations, and other human activities like agriculture and deforest
ation etc., earth became loaded with diverse pollutants that were released as by
-products. Pollution can be broadly classified according to the components of en
vironment that are polluted. Major of these are: Air pollution, Water pollution,
Soil pollution (land degradation) and Noise pollution.
OBJECTIVES
1.Ensuring conservation and rational use of natural resources.
2.Achieving a quality of the environment where the levels of pollution do not gi
ve rise to harmful effects on human health and the environment.
3. Protecting, preserving, managing, restoring and facilitating and functioning
of natural systems, natural habitats, wild flora and fauna with the aim of halti
ng desertification and the loss of biodiversity.
4. Serving as an environmental watchdog.
5. Ensuring sustainable population growth.
6. Promoting better management of natural resources and waste and encouraging a
shift to more sustainable 7. production and consumption patterns.
8. Developing strategic approaches to policy development, implementation and int
egration, including improving environmental governance and raising awareness.
9.To create public awareness about the potential benefits and perceived risks of
biotechnology intervention in sustainable development and utilization of natura
l resources, human, animal and plant health, and environmental protection.
10.Empowering and improving life for disadvantaged communities to promote sustai
nable living.
11. Promoting voluntary action for environmental protection.
12. Engaging in environmental education.
13. Imparting training at the local/Village level on the basics of Information T
echnology (IT) for unemployed youth and women.
14. Identifying skills at the local/Village level for sustainable development.
15. Developing course material, training methodology and kits for imparting skil
ls to local unemployed youth and women.
16. Ensuring protection & preservation of aquatic living forms.
HYPOTHESIS
1. Pollution control costs have an impact at the margins, where they exert some
effect on investment decisions and trade flows.
2. Pollution control costs are important enough to measurably influence trade an
d investment.
3. Countries set their environmental standards below socially-efficient levels i
n order to attract investment or to promote their exp
