In the 1972 United Nations Conference on Human Environment was held at Stockholm, Sweden and environment problems received a formal recognition for the first time at the global level. The environment includes the harmonious co-existence of physical and biological components of the nature. The nature follows its own rules to arrange and rearrange the components, but if there are any external intervention which disturb this process, the same is referred to as environment pollution. The disturbance in environment may arise due to numerous reasons; because of human interventions like industrial process, domestic reasons or because of natural calamities.

The British Parliament passed an Act in 1273, forbidding the burning of coal in London. Later, the law fell into disuse as the industrial revolution took place in England. The industrialization of the world dramatically altered the natural world through new methods of resource extraction, production and transportation. With the course of time, the excessive exploitation of natural resources posed a serious threat to the fragile eco-system evinced by depletion of ecology, increase in sea level, rise of atmospheric temperature and hole in ozone layer.
