Abstract	Jharkhand, a state surrounded by forests, is well-known for its flora and fauna. This study reviews how environmental pollution affects the medicinal plants in this area and the pollutants that can degrade the quality of medicine. The primary components of medicinal plants are known as phytoconstituents, and their presence is regarded to be safe for treating a wide range of ailments with little or no side effects. As a result, it is critical to apply the best conservation strategies to safeguard medicinal plants from human disturbance and the growing threat of environmental change. Understanding the impacts of pollution on plants that are used for food and medicine and, when included in a regular diet, improve human health is critical. Human-caused environmental changes have an undeniable impact on medicinal plants and all other species in low- to high-ecologically sensitive zones. The plants' roots could absorb contaminants, altering how antioxidants are formed and lowering their overall efficiency. Polluted environment can alter the chemical makeup of medicinal plants, preventing them from forming and growing. Humans inflict massive ecological harm. As a result, the public should be well-informed on how human activities affect biological diversity, keeping in mind that each plant and animal species has unique biological characteristics. If people do not exploit natural resources wisely, biodiversity will be lost until human life ceases to exist. There are several methods for identifying contaminants, including those specified in WHO recommendations. Humans, as the key factor, must make a concerted effort to protect the ecosystem to preserve medicinal plants. Both the government and stakeholders must invest in and raise knowledge about waste management to achieve sustainability.
