ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES

It gives me immense pleasure to present this book titled “A Text Book of Environmental Sciences” for the students of B.Pharm. Semester II. Our Earth is the only precious planet in this vast universe where diverse forms of living organisms like plants, animals and microorganisms live. Our very existence depends on the conservation of the environment. The environmental damage inflicted due to alarming population explosion, rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, increasing needs of energy and fast scientific and technological advancement cannot be reversed unless there is collective thinking, will and effort by the common people. These call for public awareness and participation for bringing about an attitudinal change and finally restricting further damage to the environment.
