COURSE OBJECTIVE

Environmental education is a process that allows individuals to explore environmental issues,

engage in problem solving, and take action to improve the environment. As a result, individuals
develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues and have the skills to make informed and
responsible decisions.

THEORY

i)Basics of ecology, Ecosystem, Human activities and its effect on ecology and eco system,
different development i.e. irrigation, urbanization, road development and other engineering
activities and their effects on ecology and eco system. ii) B27. Resources- renewable and non-
renewable, Components of Atmosphere, Biodiversity, Lowering of water level.
iii) Biodegradation and Bio degradability, composting, bioremediation, Microbes. Use of bio
pesticides and bio fungicides. Global warning concerns, Ozone layer depletion, Greenhouse
effect, Acid rain, etc. Definition, classification, air, water, solid waste, thermal, noise and
radioactive pollutions. Different parameter of pollution i) Water POLLUTION: Sources,
transport of pollutants, effect of water pollutants on man, animal, plants material, various types
of pollutants. Mainly discuss various types of wastes from community, domestic & industrial
wastes and their effects on environment, Indian Standards for quality of drinking water, Indian
Standards for quality of treated waste water. Treatment methods of effluent (domestic waste
water and industrial/ mining waste water), its reuse/safe disposal. ii)AIR POLLUTION:
Definition of Air pollution, types of air pollutants, causes and its effects on the environment
Monitoring and control of air pollutants, Ambient air quality measurement and their standards.
Effects of mining, blasting and deforestation, Vehicular Pollution and Its control with special
emphasis of Euro-I, Euro-II, Euro-III and Euro IV. iii) NOISE POLLUTION: Sources,
measurement of pollution. Degree of noise. Echo’s and their control. Industrial noise, units
characteristics occupational injuries due to noise, criteria and standard for occupational injuries
due to noise. Means to control noise in industry. iv)RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION: Sources
and its effect on human, animal, plant and material, means to control and preventive measures.
v)SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT: Review of various types of solid waste. sources,
components of solid waste, city garbage and industrial solid waste handling and disposal
equipment. Method of disposal, salvage and recovery. Volume reduction in solid waste.
