ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Several factors affect the environment such as topographic or physiographic factors, climatic factors, edaphic factors and biotic factors. Life of organisms is affected by the combination of all these ecological factors. The ecological factors operate under natural conditions. When natural conditions are disturbed due to man’s intervention, there are several repercussions. Several problems like ecological imbalance, disruption of earth’s natural ecosystems, environmental degradation, depletion of protective ozone umbrella, chlorofluorocarbons, ozone hole and global warming are affecting the health of human beings which is now at stake. Man-made sources of pollution such as increase in population, deforestation, burning of fossil fuels and fires, emissions from vehicles, rapid industrialization, agricultural activity, war are causing air pollution and affecting the health of people. New frontiers are being developed to reduce or eliminate the use of hazardous chemical substances and promote the use of bio-resources which are more feasible, economical and environment friendly and thus contributing to the development of green society which helps in protecting the health of human beings.
