OBJECTIVES:
To find the scientific, technological, economic and political solutions to environmental problems.
• To study the interrelationship between living organism and environment.
• To study the importance of environment by assessing its impact on the human world.
• To study the dynamic processes and understand the features of the earth’s interior and surface.
• To study the integrated themes and biodiversity, natural resources, pollution control and waste
management.

UNIT I ENVIRONMENT, ECOSYSTEMS AND BIODIVERSITY 12
Definition, scope and importance of Risk and hazards; Chemical hazards, Physical hazards, Biological
hazards in the environment – concept of an ecosystem – ecological succession processes – Introduction, types,
characteristic features, structure and function of the forest ecosystem - grassland ecosystem - desert ecosystem
- aquatic ecosystems (ponds, streams, lakes, rivers, oceans, estuaries) – Introduction to biodiversity definition:
genetic, species and ecosystem diversity – Significance of medicinal plants - biogeographical classification of
India – value of biodiversity: consumptive use, productive use, social, ethical, aesthetic and option values –
Biodiversity at global, national and local levels – India as a mega-diversity nation – hot-spots of biodiversity –
threats to biodiversity: habitat loss, poaching of wildlife, man-wildlife conflicts – endangered and endemic
species of India – conservation of biodiversity: In-situ and ex-situ conservation of biodiversity.

UNIT II ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION 10
Definition - causes, effects and control measures of Air pollution (Atmospheric chemistry - Chemical
composition of the atmosphere; Chemical and photochemical reactions in the atmosphere - formation of smog,
PAN, acid rain, oxygen and ozone chemistry- Mitigation procedures - Control of particulate and gaseous
emission, Control of SO 2, NO X, CO and HC) - Water pollution : Physical and chemical properties of
terrestrial and marine water and their environmental significance - Water quality parameters – physical,
chemical and biological; absorption of heavy metals - Water treatment processes. Soil pollution - soil waste
management: causes, effects and control measures of municipal solid wastes – Marine pollution - Noise
pollution - Thermal pollution - Nuclear hazards– e-Waste – toxic substances in e-waste – risks related to toxic
substances – role of an individual in prevention of pollution – pollution case studies.

UNIT III NATURAL RESOURCES 10
