Environmental hazards are natural or human-made factors that can cause harm to the environment and human health. These hazards include pollution, natural disasters like floods and earthquakes, and exposure to toxic substances. They can lead to serious consequences, such as loss of biodiversity, health problems, and damage to ecosystems. Many environmental hazards are linked to industrial activities, urbanization, and climate change. For example, air pollution from factories can lead to respiratory issues, while chemical spills can contaminate water sources. Understanding these hazards is crucial for developing strategies to protect both the environment and public health.
