27. We know that certain environmental conditions like
air , water,& food are essential for man , survival .
Apart from their availability their quality &
quantity must be assured according to men natural
& acquired capacity for sustenance progress in
industrialization has brought environmental hazards
such as air water & noise pollution . These have
caused many health problems & diseases.
