Environmental issues refer to problems that arise from human activities and their impact on the natural environment. These issues can encompass a wide range of concerns, including pollution (air, water, soil), climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss, habitat destruction, and the depletion of natural resources. Environmental issues often result from industrialization, urbanization, agricultural practices, and waste production, leading to adverse effects on ecosystems and human health.
