ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

The term "environmental hazards" is defined as the extreme events and substances which are in the earth and its ecological systems that create several consequences.

An environmental hazard can cause numerous effects on the environment and also social nature which mainly creates some different types of consequences. In addition, it has also some effects on the health of people and which involves some natural types of disasters in today’s world. Apart from this, it also includes “toxic chemical, biological, or physical agent” and also pollution in the natural environment. Environment hazard includes the first step which is environmental risk assessment which possesses diverse effects on human health. In addition, approaches to environmental hazards can create and develop from some initial focus which can prevent some natural disasters. Employment risk assessment employs a wide range of experimental, statistical, and economic techniques. 

Environmental Hazards

Environmental hazards created numerous effects on adverse health events. This hazard faces some factors such as physical, chemical and also some biological which can be natural and manmade. In addition, examples of environmental hazards such as Air, water, and soil pollution from transportation, agriculture, industry, and other sources such as: “Chemicals, Toxic waste, Radiation”. Another type of hazard such as “hazard resulting from chemical, biological, or physical agents either from ongoing or previous human activity”. Natural hazards also include some difficulties such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and flooding. Environmental hazards also cause diverse effects on the working field and also on employees. There are numerous categories of environmental hazards such as 

  • Physical hazards
  • Biological hazards
  • Chemical hazards
  • Cultural/practice-related hazards
  • Social hazards

All hazards can cause some numerous effects and also some difficult social and environmental problems which can also have some adverse effects on human beings. In addition, it also decreases the well being of human beings and creates biological, environmental and also some physical hazards. Here some hazards as biological mainly create infections and disease which is caused by pathogens. Apart from this, all types of chemical hazards mainly affect some living organisms which damage everything very highly. Another is physical hazards which are caused through some heavy metals and also some pesticides. All effects only create waste socially, environmentally and also in human beings. 

Causes of environmental hazards

The causes of environmental hazards such as unplanned construction, defective policies of agriculture, deforestation, population exploitation and also transport. Unplanned construction can create air pollution in every rural area and through their unplanned behaviour, it is also caused through trapping the solar radiation and also making all construction areas warmer. Environmental hazards can create difficulties and which creates some single obstacles. These are mostly effects on three matters such as while the potential market developed as weak and also highly uncertain, while lenders undertake some difficult deals and while some undeveloped brownfield mainly close to develop some undeveloped areas. Deforestation also results negatively in rural areas and the world and it creates more environmental problems such as reducing the balance of Oxygen through cutting trees. In which the rain pattern merely affects deforestation and also increases pollution. In addition, it also increases the loss of planting trees , mainly through deforestation. Population explosion also creates several environmental issues but alarmingly increases the amount of waste. There has been a tremendous surge in some private vehicles which creates a higher rate of pollution causing smog. This also creates health hazards and causes conjunctivitis. In addition, the causes of smog resulted in “vehicular pollution, and Hydro-Carbons”. Arbitrary policies for land are also affecting nature and human health. It also facilitates some environmental issues and also leads to land pollution and degradation. It also stops the cultivation of land and affects natural resources. 

Effects of environmental hazards

The effects of environmental hazards can create dangerous effects on the natural environment and also on human beings. On the other hand, defective policies can create several issues in agriculture which is a main part of every region. Apart from this, land is continuously polluted by pesticides like DDT. It creates degraded soil and pollutes the land. It also affects through adding some harmful chemicals for faster growing and creates diseases among human beings. The effects of environmental hazards create numerous negative ways which mainly derive from cultivation, vehicle population etc. Additionally, effects are also caused by cutting trees which are stated as natural difficulties. All examples of environmental hazards also merely create numerous difficulties in human beings and also in every working field. 

Environmental hazards examples

The examples include environmental hazards and also degradation such as degradation of land and soil, degradation of water, atmospheric degradation and also numerous kinds of pollution which can cause numerous difficulties in working behaviour and also in human beings. There are also numerous causes which state environmental hazards: disturbance inland, pollution, overpopulation of landfills, deforestation and also overpopulation. Environmental hazards have diverse effects on human life which can be natural and also human-made. All examples are increased in numerous areas which cause the greatest and diverse effects. Other examples such as 

  • Air contaminants
  • Toxic waste
  • Radiation
  • Disease-causing in microorganisms and also plants
  • Pesticides
  • Heavy metals
  • Chemicals which are in all consumer products
  • Huge temperatures and weather events

Conclusions

This study mainly discusses about some environmental hazards which mainly defines as extreme events and substances. In addition, this study also discusses different types of hazards which could affects environment and also gives an example of those hazards. In addition, it also discusses some reasons of environmental hazards and how it effects on human life. Apart from this, through fact-based questions it also provides about some possible difficulties of environmental hazards.
