Micronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, nitrates contaminate ground water.

When there is an imbalance in the concentration(increases to 25mg/l, they cause BLUE BABY.
Excessive use of N & P causes excessive growth of algae resulting in Eutrophication .
Water logging (over irrigation of plants)
Salinity (increased concentration of soluble salts)
Pesticides, herbisides, insecticides usage also impacts the environment
 Impact of housing related anthropogenic activities on Environment
1) Sick building syndrome- caused by the heavy use of chemicals in building houses
2) Green House effect- Production of plastic causes gases like CO2, to increase thus causing
problems.
3) Manufacturing metals from their ores also causes health iussues

2) Subsidence of land tilting of buildings
3) Surface pollution

5) ground pollution
6) occupational health hazard
