AIM OF THE PROJECTThe main objective of this project is to promote waste management and voluntary environmental initiatives for adoption of clean and climate friendly technologies in the world so that we can create better environmental sustainability. The purpose of the present study is to assess knowledge of environmental risks.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM-

The industrialization, urbanization, and unsustainable agriculture practices of human society is having a serious effect on the environment. There is increase in temperature due to man-made activities which leads to climatic change and loss of biodiversity resulting in reduced variety of genetic strains, species and ecosystems, depletion and extinction of species etc. Increasing rate of soil degradation and desertification as well as air and water pollution, increase in green house gases that are expected to lead to an increase in the global temperature possess a great threat to human existence.

Massive release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the stratosphere would lead to the depletion of ozone layer and if this happens then there would be nothing to shield us from harmful ultra-violet radiation from the sun. This means that unless efforts are made to care for the environment, the human species may suffer to an extent that other species already have suffered.CONCEPTUAL FRAME WORK- TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS- There are three types of hazards.1.Chemical 2.Physical 3. Biological

Research Question:

What is the present scenario of environmental hazards in India, what are the steps that need to be taken for solving the environmental pollution in India?Research methodology:

a) Visiting the garbage disposable centers and observing the condition prevalent over there.b) Coverage: A search was made on internet for articles and related matter on Environmental hazards in India. Newspaper articles and magazines were also taken for reference. Severalbooks reference was also sought.

c) Sources of data: Secondary sources of data (like books, magazines, journals, articles) are used.

IMPLICATION- The paper also documents the continuing gap between environmental policies and their realization within actual projects; the importance of timely environmental input to sensible natural resources project development; the vulnerability of protected areas' to natural resources development and the need for protect areas. And further we need to combat global environmental problems and climate change this project can take into consideration in policy making issues.SUMMARY-

Conditions in the environment that have a negative impact on the health and well-being of a population are known as environmental hazards. weather pattern that causes a drought or flood; or a sudden, violent disaster such as an earthquake or volcanic eruption. Environmental hazards can also be man-made problems such as air and water pollution, chemical toxicity, or a poor use of resources that brings about environmental degradation. These events can have an immediate, devastating impact, or they can have more extended consequences. A famine, for example, might cause hundreds of thousands of people to starve to death over a number of months, or exposure to pollution might be associated with long-term health effects over several generations.
