Human activities in the last fewmillennia was able to influence the Earth. As reality shows, it becomes the only source of pollution in the environment. Because of what is observed: a decline in soil fertility, desertification and land degradation, deterioration of air and water quality, extinction of biological species and ecosystems. In addition, there is a negative impact of the environment on human health and the duration of his life. According to modern statistics, more than 80% of diseases are due to the fact that we breathe, what we drink water and for what soil we go. Let us consider this in more detail.
Negative environmental impact onhuman health is due to industrial plants that are located near residential areas. As a rule, these are powerful sources of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
В воздух ежедневно поступают различные твердые и gaseous substances. These are oxides of carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, hydrocarbons, lead compounds, dust, chromium, and asbestos, which can have a poisonous effect on the body (respiratory system, mucous membranes, eyesight and smell).
Influence of environmental pollution on healthman contributes to the deterioration of the general condition. As a result, bronchitis, asthma, nausea, headaches and a feeling of weakness, and disability decrease.
The negative impact also has a water balanceOf the Earth. Diseases that are transmitted through contaminated sources cause deterioration, and often death. As a rule, the most dangerous are ponds, lakes and rivers, in which pathogenic microorganisms and viruses are actively multiplying.
Contaminated drinking water, which comes from the aqueduct, contributes to the development of cardiovascular and renal pathologies in humans, the emergence of various diseases.
Therefore, as a result of thatConstantly creating a large number of amenities for your life, scientific progress "does not stand still." Due to the implementation of the majority of his achievements, a whole complex of harmful and unfavorable factors for life appeared. We are talking about increased levels of radiation, toxic substances, flammable flammable materials and noise.
In addition, psychologicalhuman exposure. For example, due to the fact that large settlements are saturated with machines, not only the negative impact of transport on the environment is carried out, but also stress and overwork appear.
The influence of the environment on human healthoccurs through the soil, the sources of pollution of which are enterprises and residential buildings. Thanks to human activity, not only chemicals (mercury, lead, arsenic, etc.), but also organic compounds enter it. From the soil they penetrate into the groundwater, which are absorbed by plants, and then through the plants, meat and milk enter the body.
It turns out that the influence of the environment on human health, as a habitat, is negative.
