520 _aThe Compendium has been prepared under the broad Framework for Development of Environment Statistics provided by the United Nations Statistics Division and adopted by the Steering Committee on Environment Statistics for the 1997 issue. The same pattern has been followed in the present issue. The five parameters of the framework, namely, biodiversity, atmosphere, land/soil, water, and human settlements have been used in this compendium. There are seven chapters, further divided into sections, the details of which are given below. An attempt has been made, wherever possible, to elaborate the data in the tables with the help of boxes under the table and suitable graphs and charts for easy comprehension. The first chapter on Environment and Environment degradation gives a general introduction of the concept of environment; development versus environment degradation; impact of development activities on environment; emissions, discharges and their sources; some major pollutants, their sources and related health hazards. The second chapter on Development of Environment Statistics in India summarises the activities undertaken by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation for the development of environment statistics.
