Abstract

Human activities influence the environment and environment affects the health of humans. Both are interlinked with each other. Environment has mainly two components, biotic and abiotic. Biotic components consist of microorganisms and living organisms. Abiotic component has three sub components. One of them is atmosphere, another one is Lithosphere and third one is hydrosphere. Environmental pollution can be termed as the introduction of substances, harmful to human beings and other living organisms, into the environment. The pollutants may be solids, liquids or gases which are present in concentration higher than the usual concentration which reduces the quality of the environment. In this paper we present about the role of particulate matter in air pollution and its effects due to medical waste.
