Question

Write a brief note on the following:

Environmental Stress.

Answer 1

• Environmental stress is the strain caused by disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, super cyclones, and floods.
• These events have a significant influence on the physical and mental health of many people, requiring a lengthy recovery period.
• For example, the 1999 Super Cyclone in Odisha, as well as tsunamis in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and India, caused considerable stress and disruption.
• Pollution, noise, and overcrowding are examples of second-order environmental stressors that are less severe but still have a negative impact on health.
