Environmental Health- All around us

If you want to learn about the health of a population, look at the air they breath, the
water they drink, and the places where they live
Hipocrates
„Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s
NEEDS, but not every man’s GREED.”
M. Gandhi
We need safe, healthy and supportive environments for good health. The environment in which we live
is a major determinant of our health and wellbeing.
We depend on the environment for energy and the materials needed to sustain life, such as:
•clean air
•safe drinking water
•nutritious food
•safe places to live.

Many aspects of our environment – both built and natural environment – can impact on our health.
It’s important that we interpret health issues in the wider context of our environment and where we
live.
Why is environmental health important?
Clean air, water, plants, and food supplies
are essential for our personal health
and wellbeing. ... Therefore, just as
our actions and choices affect the
environment, the health of the planet
influences our own personal health and
wellbeing, as well as our communities,
families, and economies.
