چکیده
Environmental pollution is one of the serious crisis to which we are facing today. It is fact that three basic elements air, water and land which constitute harmony of nature for proper and balance living of all organisms, it was fortunate enough that such hospitable and balance environment was the destiny of our predecessors. But it is contrary to living of the present environment. With the rapid growth of population, urbanization, industrialization, commercialization, consumerism, fast changing life style, unplanned development etc. have deteriorated the ecological balance day by day and now it went beyond its sustainable limit the craze of progress in agriculture, industry, transportation and technology is taken as the general criterion of development of any nation. Such activities of man have created adverse effects on all living organisms in the planet of the earth. The increasing population and poverty are also the cause of environmental pollution which compels the people for over exploitation of natural resources of the region. Besides poverty, illiteracy, unawareness, lack of knowledge, irrational and unplanned development etc. also contributes to pollution of the environment at regional scale. In the present work an attempt has been made to study impact of environmental pollution on human health, which is the home of approximately 0.67 million people, who are subject to sufferings. After foregoing analysis regarding variable of indoor air pollution and their impact on health, it may be concluded that the indoor air pollution is affected by the housing conditions and living conditions but to some extent it is also affected by the outdoor environment.
