Abstract
- The article reports on various factors affecting environment in Bangladesh. Natural resources of Bangladesh include water, land, fisheries, forests and wildlife. The rapidly increasing population of Bangladesh places immense pressure on these natural resources and on the environment. Human health problems related to the environment are primarily due to contaminated ground and surface waters. The various contributory factors to environmental stress and degradation in Bangladesh are intense population pressure, industrial pollution, unsustainable land use and energy consumption, urbanization, agricultural intensification and natural hazards.
