By this, I mean the world that is not deliberately created by humans. The environment is the air we breathe, the water found in nature, and the land where wild animals and plants grow. In life sciences, the man-made parts of the world are studied carefully to see how they affect the environment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#contents\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/files\/2017\/05\/back-to-top-button.png\" alt=\"Go back to the top of our post on IELTS science vocabulary.\" width=\"150\" height=\"30\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/files\/2017\/05\/back-to-top-button.png 200w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/files\/2017\/05\/back-to-top-button-30x6.png 30w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"pollution\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Pollution<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-488 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/files\/2016\/06\/pollution.png\" alt=\"IELTS science vocabulary - pollution - magoosh\" width=\"422\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/files\/2016\/06\/pollution.png 744w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/files\/2016\/06\/pollution-249x300.png 249w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pollution&#8221; describes things from the human world that enter the environment and harm it.
