In recent years, environmental protection and preservation, including the upkeep of ecological balance, have emerged as issues of paramount importance. The foundation of a healthy lifestyle is a healthy environment. However, dangerous substances, such as hazardous wastes and poisonous chemicals, have imposed significant strain on the ecosystem. Modern industrialised society's by-products have severely contaminated our air, water, and soil. They've made things far noisier, smellier, and uglier than they should be. The ecosystem can heal itself if given the chance. Toxic, long-lasting, and corrosive qualities of these compounds, however, have essentially wiped out nature's ability to absorb them. However, these activities are seen as necessary for economic growth, therefore they will continue. They are seen as an inevitable consequence of rising living standards, urbanisation, and industrialization. Since the introduction of potentially dangerous industries and processes is widely seen as inevitable, ‘sustainable development' necessitates the prompt and careful management, treatment, and disposal of potentially harmful substances.
