The ecosystem has been impacted by this growth spike as seen in various areas in India, leading to numerous anomalies. Pollutants in the environment have had an impact on both the atmosphere and people's health. Health hazards related to the intake of artificial, non-green goods and how they interact with the human body are a subject of growing concern. Numerous skin and hair diseases are the outcome of this.
