Environmental degradation is the disintegration of the earth or deterioration of the environment through consumption of assets, for example, air, water and soil; the destruction of environments and the eradication of wildlife. It is characterized as any modification or aggravation to nature’s turf seen to be pernicious or undesirable. Ecological result or degradation is made by the consolidation of effectively substantial and increasing human people, perpetually increasing financial development or per capita fortune and therefore the application of asset exhausting and polluting technology. It happens once earth’s natural resources square measure depleted and surroundings are compromised within the sort of extinction of species, pollution in air, water and soil, and rise in population. Industrialization and urbanization have resulted in an exceedingly profound deterioration of India’s air quality. Of the three million premature deaths within the world that occur every year because of outside and indoor pollution, the very best ranges are assessed to occur in air pollution. India’s most severe environmental problems come in several forms, including vehicular emissions and untreated industrial smoke. Apart from speedy industrial enterprise, urbanization has resulted within the emergence of commercial centres while not a corresponding growth in civic amenities and pollution management mechanisms. Noise could be a disturbance to the human setting that's escalating at such a high rate that it will become a serious threat to the standard of human lives. In the past thirty years, noise all told areas, especially in urban areas, has been increasing rapidly. There are various effects on the human setting because of the rise in pollution. Noise has been a style of pollution and like different varieties of pollution it affects the standard of life and then is thought as a social value. Nuclear energy is that the world’s largest supply of emission-free energy. Nuclear power plants turn out no controlled air pollutants, like sulphur and particulates, or greenhouse gases. The use of atomic energy in situ of different energy sources helps to stay the air clean, preserve the Earth’s climate, avoid ground level ozone formation and prevent acid rain. Environmental degradation is connected to weaknesses in native market mechanisms, policy failure, weak institutions and regulatory frameworks, a lack of public awareness and participation, underdeveloped technical capabilities and rapid population growth.

Environmental pollution, air pollution, soil degradation, noise pollution, nuclear energy pollution and environmental degradation.
