It is, the science of physical phenomena in the, , , , , environment. It is inherently a, multidisciplinary field that draws, upon not only its core scientific, areas, but also applies knowledge, from other non-scientific studies such, s economic, law and social science

Page 4 : For the example purpose lets just take up a small and simple issue of, environmental studies, air pollution. As we all know that air pollution is a topic, which we as students have studied from very junior classes, we know the, reason for it, it’s preventive measures etc. but, it in itself includes study of a, wide range of disciplines., , The given Table shows a list of topics dealt commonly in air pollution and the, related traditional fields of knowledge required
