Summary: Man and all other organisms live in reciprocal relationship with their environment. The role of environment factors on the growth, development, health and welfare of organisms has been well realised since time immemorial and man has made conscious and determined efforts to modify his surroundings and dwelling places in such a way as to reduce the adverse effects of extremes of temperature, sun, shade, rainfall and predators.
