Volume : II, Issue : X, November - 2012 ENVIRONMENTAL AIR POLLUTION AND ITS HARMFUL EFFECTS-A STUDY IN INDIAN CONTEXT USHA N. PATIL Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The environmental problems in India are growing rapidly. The increasing
economic development and a rapidly growing population that has taken the country from
300 million people in 1947 to more than one billion people today is putting a strain on the
environment, infrastructure and the country's natural resources. Industrial pollution,
soil erosion, deforestation, rapid industrialization, urbanization, and land degradation
are all worsening problems. Overexploitation of the country's resources is its' land or
water and the industrialization process has resulted environmental degradation of
resources. Environmental pollution is one of the most serious issue facing humanity and
other life forms on our planet today. India has been ranked as seventh most
environmentally hazardous country in the world by a new ranking released recently. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : USHA N. PATIL, (2012).
