Abstract
environmental Studies (ES) is an inter-disciplinary area of study incorporating the social and scientific aspects of nature and natural resources. The major aim of environmental Studies is to project the inter-relationships between living beings-especially human beings- with the surrounding natural resources. environmental Studies tries to build up a code of conduct towards natural resources. The major objective of environmental Studies is to make people aware about the growing environmental challenges and individual responsibility. pollution is any undesirable change in the physical, chemical or biological characteristics of air, water or land. pollution can harm our health and threaten the survival or activities of human beings and other living organisms. It is difficult to estimate the desirable and undesirable effects of any activity, which alters the environment. Sometimes short-term gains can cause immeasurable damage in the future, as seen in the ease of nuclear energy, motorcars, air-conditioners and refrigerators, etc. In an age of fast material change, pollution is an unavoidable result. History has shown that societies pollute first and pay later.
