Description
This book examines pollution and its impact upon flora and fauna, compiling selected papers and expert discussions from an international webinar. It explores critical themes such as sustainable development, biodiversity conservation, atmospheric pollution, abnormal growth of aquatic life, climate change, the depletion of natural resources, defective agriculture, and various forms of pollution. The text addresses how escalating human activities, global warming, melting glaciers, and rising polythene use severely degrade the environment and affect biological oxygen demand. Furthermore, it highlights the resulting health crises for human beings, including asthma, bronchitis, and tuberculosis. Emphasizing the urgent need to protect biodiversity and prevent polythene usage, the volume encourages readers to foster a healthy, non-polluted environment. It also calls for stricter government implementation of the Pollution Act and Wildlife Protection Act for human welfare. Ultimately, the collection gathers insights from national and international experts to inspire behavioral change, aiming to secure a pollution-free environment for future generations.
