Current challenges for our environment

Our environment is made up of physical, biological and human elements. These three are different facets related with one another. But human environment has begun to impinge and burden the physical and biological environment.

With help of some NGOs and government support, few people now have been aware of the seriousness of the matter. It is not efficient solve environmental problems on a national level but is a global matter.

Main problems:

Global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, energy and water deficits are all problems that challenge humanity and its progress. However, the aggravation of these problems can be prevented through education, awareness and action. Industrial Art is a field of knowledge that encompasses innovations and advancements for technological progress and environmental welfare.

Gradual global climatic warming (Batter Known as Global warming):

Global warming is a process in which Earth’s average temperature increases due to the emission of various greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, aerosols. This is a pressing issue, both environmental and political in nature. Global warming can result in loss of arable land, loss of snow cover, increased sea level, depleted ozone and inhabitability.

Ozone depletion:

It is a thinning of the ozone layer, the blanket of ozone gas that shields us from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It results fromchlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), chemicals used in refrigerator and freezer coils, aerosols, as well as automobile and commercial air conditioners, being released into the atmosphere. It is a global problem; the depletion of the ozone layer is the worst over the polar region.

Acid rain:

It is a broad term used to describe several ways that acids fall out of the atmosphere. A more precise term is acid deposition, which has two parts: wet and dry. Wet deposition refers to acidic rain, fog, and snow. Dry deposition refers to acidic gases and particles.

Water deficits:

This problem is created by water unavailability of water. Earth has limited source of fresh water. In India major parts/cities are suffer from crisis of water.
