"Now-a-day, environmental awareness is an important tool to inform ecoplanners about the possible environmental, social and economic costs of the pollution. To be effective, it requires the active involvement of all concerned. There is a genuine need to develop the mass awakening in all strata of the society. At the same time, there is a need among CBO, NGOs, academicians and environmental managers to review and interpret environmental impact assessment and environmental risk ranking.

This book entitled "Environmental Awareness" provides a comprehensive guide to the key of successful environmental education. The present book will be useful to the students, research scholars, scientists in the field of environmental management and ecoplanners, politicians. In shot, this book is helpful for every one who is seeking a clear cut understanding of the environment."
