IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

In today's world, the study of environmental problems and their solutions are extremely
relevant due to the dependency on oil and petroleum products In recent times, production of
oil has fallen but the demand around the world has grown. Alongside this,
the world's continues to increase by more than 70 million people each year. Day by day we are
being pushed into an emerging energy crisis scenario as the prices of everything produced
from oil (from food to fertilizer to fuels) rise beyond what many can afford. Such
energy shortage environmental economic problems have come at a time of unprecedented
environmental  concerns, as the continuous pursuit to produce more and more to
meet increasing human demands are causing global environmental externalities pollution,
global warming and climate change that can actually threaten survival of our current way of
life.
The study of environment science and mana problems and aims to implement and ex
emerging problems and aims to implement and explore ways to provide scientific and
management solutions .In doing so, it helps students acknowledge that we share this world
equally with 8.5 million other species and that we responsible for their survival and well-being.

Air Pollution and energy-Silent Killers of Dhaka: Threat to
Environment, Health and Development
 

The main air pollutant in Dhaka City is particulate matter. Major

source of emissions are brick kilns, motor vehicle and
constructional debris. The harmful pollutants like, PM 10, PM2.5,
S02, NOx, 03 and CO all are present in every locations of the City.
The average concentrations are 271.5, 101.3, 30, 24, 12
microgram/m3 and 1.88 ppm respectively. Consequently, all
pollutants are in considerable level in comparison with the
Bangladesh air quality standards. 
But the particulate matter (PMIO and PM2.5) exceed the Bangladesh air
quality standards and those prescribed under the World Health Organization
air quality guidelines at an alarming level. 
Therefore, the contribution of particulate matter causing many hazardous
diseases like vomiting respiratory tract illness, different type cancer coronary
diseases and so on is increasing day by day. Brick kilns located in different
zones in Dhaka is the highest emitter Of that pollutant during the dry season.
The health impact of air pollutants was overviewed with respect to pollutants
type. Nevertheless, air pollution itself killed 123,000 people last year.
Therefore, the priorities for Environmental Policy adopt all modern
environmental tools to take migratory action toward improving air quality,
improving urban air quality and meet SDGs.
