Explain the impact of environment on human behavior.
✓
Answer
Noise pollution:
Developments in industry and technology have led to a significant increase in noise pollution.
Noise is the noise that is unnecessary, disliked and has a negative effect on a person.
Impulsive behavior is observed due to noise.
Noise has a negative effect on physical and mental strength, attention, concentration, reading power, authorship, etc.
Working in a noisy environment consumes more of a person's physical and mental energy which makes them tired faster.
But not every sound harms a person, as the chirping of birds in the morning is a mild regular and predictable sound, so it does not have a negative effect.
But the noise of vehicles, the sound of horns, pop or rock music, the noise of trains and planes over people living around airports or railway stations, and the noise of machines in factories.
This can lead to long-term deafness, memory loss, and high blood pressure.
Air Pollution:
Air is a very important factor for people living on earth.
Air is more important to living animals than food and water.
When air is polluted for any reason, it creates a variety of hazards.
Air pollution is spread by burning fumes from factories, vehicle fumes, coal, tobacco, rubber, and plastics.
Toxic gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide are found in air pollution.
This results in diseases such as respiratory disease, skin diseases, skin inflammation and cancer.

Which is found to be surrounded by air pollution today.
For example, cities like Rome, the capital of Italy, Madrid, the capital of Spain, Delhi, Bhopal, Bangalore, and Chandigarh in India have become polluted.
Currently, cities like Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are less polluted.
Crowd and density pollution:
If there is a limited space and a lot of people live in it, it is called crowd.
Research on congestion has shown that overcrowding has led to a higher incidence of disease in animals.
An average of seven to eight people living in a 10 '× 10' room affects their interaction.
