The degradation of soil wellbeing is one of the most important predicaments to the farming community. There are several reasons for the loss of soil health. One among such issue is uncontrolled use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture ultimately worsen physical, chemical and biological properties of soil. Consequently, alternate solutions to overcome soil degradation, especially agricultural land, the natural way of farming came into existence. The concept of organic farming is mainly to utilize biofertilizers, farmyard manure, compost, vermicompost, green manuring, panchakavya, etc.

Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, opining that it harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition.

Although the part of our bodies most affected by air pollution is the respiratory system, the circulatory system can also be affected. Exposure to unhealthy levels of air pollutants can result in low oxygen levels in red blood cells, abnormal heart rhythms, and increased risks of blood clots and narrowing of blood vessels. These effects can lead to worsening of heart diseases such as heart failure and increased risks of heart attacks or strokes. The Pollutants Chart: Sources and Effects of Air Pollutants summarize the sources and health effects of criteria air pollutants.

Some 60 years after physicists helped to initiate the molecular-biology revolution that has produced so many medical miracles, biophysics is a growing dis- cipline worldwide. Yet in spite of the spectacular ad- vances in understanding the cell’s molecular machinery, something as widespread and pervasive as cancer re- mains a stubborn and growing medical problem. As the population ages, so the burden of cancer on society and on the economy is set to worsen.
