"Environmental pollution-impact on human health"

Zaštita okoliša je praksa zaštite prirodnog okoliša od strane pojedinaca, organizacija i vlada. Njezini su ciljevi očuvati prirodne resurse i postojeći prirodni okoliš te, gdje je to moguće, popraviti štetu i promijeniti trendove. Zbog pritisaka prekomjerne potrošnje, rasta stanovništva i tehnologije, biofizičko okruženje degradira se, ponekad i trajno. To je prepoznato i vlade su počele ograničavati aktivnosti koje uzrokuju degradaciju okoliša. Od 1960-ih ekološki pokreti doveli su do veće svijesti o brojnim ekološkim problemima. Također, prepoznato je da loše upravljanje okolišem ima negativan učinak na ljudsko zdravlje te na biljni i životinjski svijet, kao i na ekosustav općenito.Environmental protection is the practice of protecting the natural environment by individuals, organizations and governments. Its objectives are to preserve natural resources and the existing natural environment and, where possible, to repair damage and change trends. Due to the pressures of over-consumption, population growth and technology, the biophysical environment is degrading, sometimes permanently. This was recognized and governments began to restrict activities that cause environmental degradation. Since the 1960s, environmental movements have led to a greater awareness of a number of environmental issues. Also, it has been recognized that poor environmental management has a negative impact on human health and on flora and fauna as well as on the ecosystem in general
