ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Problems and Issues

By Dr R Sampath and Dr M Rajakumar

The word 'Environment' is derived from the French word 'Environner' which means to encircle, around or surround. The biologist Jacob Van Uerkal (1864-1944) introduced the term 'environment' in Ecology. Ecology is the study of the interactions between an organism of some kind and its environment. As given by Environment Protection Act 1986, Environment is the sum total of land, water, air, interrelationships among themselves and also with the human beings and other living organisms. Environmental Science is the interdisciplinary field and requires the study of the interactions among the physical, chemical and biological components of the Environment with a focus on environmental pollution and degradation.
