and genocide is global warming itself in the Saudi and British plans for religious war and mass death. Time to create a better environment for the people of the world. But has our fixation on the environment created psychotic, self-centered people?? Read this:
The term clean environment is somewhat vague and can be
interpreted in many ways. A clean environment is not only necessary for
aesthetic pleasure, but is essential in sustaining human health as well.
The most widely known health impacts of the environment can be
attributed to factors like pollution, climate change, ozone depletion,
land degradation and the obvious loss of biodiversity. It is such
factors that bring about the correlation between health issues and a
clean environment.
Why look at environment and health?
There
is increasing awareness that our health and the environment in which we
live are closely linked, and in 2006 the World Health Organization
(WHO) estimated that 24% of the global burden of disease was due to
modifiable environmental factors. This growing awareness is reflected in
recent health and environmental initiatives from governments and other
organizations.
A lot has been said about the health issues brought
about by poor indoor and outdoor quality, lack of sanitation, the use
of hazardous chemicals and poor water quality as well. These are all
factors that directly affect human health and are as a result of our
poor efforts at maintaining and creating a clean environment.
Many
blame the sorry state of the environment on the growing population, the
projected increase from 6.8 billion to 9.2 billion by the 2050 means
that we should expect worse days to come. This link between resource
utilization and population is easy to follow, but is largely due to our
lifestyles.
There is simply too much carbon dioxide production and
this is all easily traced from sources, such as cars, detergents,
pesticides, manufacturing and of course, the receding water levels.
Health and the Environment
While
there are efforts to improve the environment, it is still shocking that
preventable ailments and premature deaths still occur globally due an
unclean environment and here's proof:
those in developing countries, environmental threats are everywhere and
industrialization is now the major threat to a clean environment.
Industrial pollution is now the leading cause of air pollution and toxic
waste. In fact, statistics show that respiratory conditions, such as
asthma, are becoming more prevalent in the developed world mainly due to
environmental factors.
Environmental conditions that affect human
health are manageable and even preventable with better environmental
care and practices. A clean environment is not just the responsibility
of your government, but falls upon us all. There are many advantages to
having a clean environment and some of these include:
poor who are most affected and especially the children and women. While
the health effects that have been brought about by global changes are
quite easy to identify, many of us ignore them unless we are directly
infected or affected.
Human health has always undergone threats
from natural phenomena like draught, fire, flooding and others. This is
however, being worsened by poor environmental management. Remember that
good health and a clean environment coexist.

While

preventable ailments and premature deaths still occur globally due an
unclean environment and here's proof:
- 3 million children lose their lives every year due to diarrhea, which is brought about by unclean water and poor sanitation
- Malaria still claims close to 3 million lives yearly
- Acute poisoning from pesticides affects between 3.5 and 5 million people in developing countries
- About 4 million children lose their lives to respiratory infections
many of which are linked to poor indoor and outdoor air quality
