Modelling and Predicting Environmental Issues, Environmental Quality and Environmental Destruction for Environmental Quality Management

This paper presents general equations of environmental issues, environmental quality and environmental destruction. The paper employed the concepts of the Ideal Gas equation, Malthus model, IPAT model and population dynamics to relate human population and resource depletion in order to estimate environmental issues over time. This resulted in the generation of three equations; equations for estimating environmental issues, environmental quality and environmental destruction. The dataset on global population growth and resource records was obtained from World Bank and Food and Agricultural Organisation Indicators to test and validate the equations. The findings of the study demonstrated that the models are ecologically efficient and sound. However, the only limitation of the models is that they are resource, population and time-dependent
