There are both positive and negative impacts of a synthetic world on the environment movement. The environmental issues consist pollution‚ depletion of natural resources‚ extinction of endangered species‚ population‚ protection of natural areas‚ etc. Synthetic biology can aid some of these issues‚ but further deteriorate others as well.

The increased importance of this economic objective has been reflected by governments implementing policies to address the issue of resource depletion‚ climate change‚ pollution and environmental degradation. This is because depletion of natural resources will ultimately constrain an economy’s long-term growth. The Australian government has been particularly effective in not only implementing environmental management policies that reduce

The environmental degradation is the deterioration of environment through depletion of resources‚ such as soil‚ water and air. When natural habitats destroyed or natural resources depleted‚ the environment are degraded. Here’s‚ one example of air pollution which lead to environment degraded in London. London in SE England had the reputation of one of the most polluted cities in Europe in the 1950s. Air pollution had reached such a serious stage that it caused the London Smog in 1952 that caused

Besides‚the transport system running on petroleum prouducts release these gases into the atmosphere;and the cumulative effect is that the atmosphere composition is severeil disturbed which is referred as ’air pollution’. This type of pollution is due to outdoor sources‚ but there is indoor air pollution also‚ arising from burning of coal‚ wood‚animal dung and crop residues

The Marcellus Shale developed from the deposition and compression of minute rock particles and organic matter at the bottom of the sea during the Devonian era‚ which was about 383-392 million years ago. The shale contains largely untapped natural gas reserves‚ and its proximity to the high-demand markets along the East Coast of the United States makes it an attractive target for energy development.[Hydro-fracking is different from conventional natural gas drilling because it uses a lot more water

Ozone depletion‚ greenhouse effect‚ and acid rain are man-made disasters. The ozone layer is the part of the Earth’s atmosphere which contains relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3). The cause of ozone depletion is the presence of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and related halocarbons gases in the atmosphere. In the presence of Ultraviolet light‚ these gases dissociate‚ releasing chlorine atoms‚ which then go on to catalyze ozone destruction. The greenhouse effect‚ on the other hand‚ is a natural
