Environmental Impact

Environmental Impact refers to the effect that a particular action, process, or project has on the surrounding environment. This includes alterations to ecosystems, biodiversity, air and water quality, soil health, and natural resources. An environmental impact can stem from various activities, including industrial processes, construction, agricultural practices, and urban development. Assessing environmental impact is crucial for understanding how these activities affect ecological balance and human health, and it often involves conducting Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) to evaluate potential consequences. The goal is to mitigate negative impacts and promote sustainable practices that protect environmental integrity.
