Oblici i izvori ugrožavanja ekološke bezbednosti

Degradation of both living and working environment is in the focus of interest of not only the professionals and scientists but also of an ordinary man, because the man witnesses the ecological balance disturbance. The safety of individuals, global and partial social groups is conditioned by the relationship between the threats and challenges and the capability to respond to them. The safety under the contemporary circumstances and conditions implies that vitally important interests of individuals, societies and states are protected from both internal and external threats which may be economic, social, military, technological, ecological, informational and other. In addition to local conflicts, organized crime and terrorism, ecological problems, climatic changes, and infectious diseases also represent serious risks to safety today. They influence the health of population, economic stability, demographic movements, as well as population migrations.Degradacija životne i radne sredine predstavlja fokus interesovanja ne samo struke i nauke već i običnog čoveka, jer je upravo čovek svedok narušavanje ekološke ravnoteže. Bezbednost pojedinca, globalnih društvenih i parcijalnih društvenih grupa, uslovljena je odnosom između pretnji i izazova i pitanja sposobnosti da se na iste odgovori. Bezbednost u današnjim okolnostima i uslovima podrazumeva da su zaštićeni životno važni interesi ličnosti, društva i države, od unutrašnjih i spoljašnjih pretnji ekonomskog, socijalnog, vojnog, tehnološkog, ekološkog, informativnog karaktera i dr. Pored lokalnih sukoba, organizovanog kriminala i terorizma, ozbiljan rizik za bezbednost danas predstavljaju i ekološki problemi, klimatske promene, zarazne bolesti itd. Oni utiču nazdravlje stanovništva, ekonomsku stabilnost, demografska kretanja kao i migracije stanovništva
