Strategic Environmental Assessment and health

May 2013

Thomas B. Fischer

This paper reflects on how human health is dealt with in strategic environmental assessment (SEA). It is shown that in current practice, whilst aspects affecting physical aspects of health (e.g. pollution, emissions) are routinely considered, social and behavioural aspects are only occasionally covered. An important question arising is whether and if, how, all health determines should be ... [Show full abstract] considered in SEA.

Environment and human health: A threat to all

May 1997 · Environmental Management and Health

Rajendra Ramlogan

Focuses on the direct and indirect impact of environmental abuse on human wellbeing. In some instances, the impact of environmental abuse on human health is not still unknown, merely being subject to scientific suspicion. This would suggest caution and the need for preventive measures to be applied. The threat to human health from environmental factors is not an isolated problem that exists on a ...

Other environmental problems cross national boundaries and achieve regional importance.

Exposure Assessment: Analysis of Human Intake of Chemicals

January 2002

Kofi Asante-Duah

Once a’ social’ or environmental chemical has been determined to present a potential health hazard, then the main concern shifts to the likelihood for, and degree of, human exposure. The exposure assessment phase of the human health risk assessment is used to estimate the rates at which chemicals are absorbed by potential receptors. Since most potential receptors tend to be exposed to chemicals ... [Show full abstract] from a variety of sources and/or in different environmental media, an evaluation of the relative contributions of each medium and/or source to total chemical intake becomes a critical part of most exposure analyses.

Climate change and health: Research challenges for health in the developing countries

August 2010 · Indian Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine

Harshal T Pandve

Climate change has emerged as one of the most important environmental issues ever to confront humanity. Recent events have emphatically demonstrated our growing vulnerability to climate change, and health hazards are a major concern. Research pertaining to the effects of climate change on human health is the need of the hour. This paper discusses the broad challenges in health research in ...

Risk Assessment in Kazakhstan

January 2004

K. Bolatbaeva

The paper discusses possible applications of the risk assessment methodology in Kazakhstan. Currently, there is no regulatory act in Kazakhstan that mandates the environmental risk assessment as a decision-making tool. The methodology of environmental risk assessment is a new, rapidly developing interdisciplinary scientific approach. Adverse environmental impacts are more effectively addressed by ... [Show full abstract] the flexible mechanism of risk assessment than by a system based on predetermined standards. In such a situation, the risk assessment approach could be very useful. Potential risk assessment applications are discussed. The results of recent research on human health risk associated with chronic exposure to lead contamination are also presented.

Efectos de los plaguicidas sobre el ambiente y la salud

December 2014

Ever since early stages in the development of mankind, there has been a need to fight pests affecting crops and products with the use of substances capable of eliminating them. A presentation is provided of the main effects of pesticides on human health and the ecosystem. The following topics are dealt with: history of the use of pesticides, classification, most common uses, effects on the ...

Environmental Selenium Research: From Microscopic Processes to Global Understanding

November 2011 · Environmental Science and Technology

Selenium is a natural trace element that is of fundamental importance to human health. The extreme geographical variation in selenium concentrations in soils and food crops has resulted in significant health problems related to deficient or excess levels of selenium in the environment. To deal with these kinds of problems in the future it is essential to get a better understanding of the ... [Show full abstract] processes that control the global distribution of selenium. The recent development of analytical techniques and methods enables accurate selenium measurements of environmental concentrations, which will lead to a better understanding of biogeochemical processes. This improved understanding may enable us to predict the distribution of selenium in areas where this is currently unknown. These predictions are essential to prevent future Se health hazards in a world that is increasingly affected by human activities.

An Ecosystem Approach to Human Health

October 2002

The health and well-being of humans are intricately linked to the natural environment, which provides both sustenance and hazards. Not all risks and threats to the health of the population arising from the degradation of the environment are the result of human activities. Many of the hazards are an intrinsic part of ecosystems themselves. The challenge lies in maintaining people’s health while ...

Robin Mason

This paper gives a general introduction to the economic principles of regulation of environmental hazards, and then assesses three different approaches to chemical regulation. In doing so, it reviews the current European Union approach to the regulation of hazardous chemicals, and considers the recent Green Paper (1993) proposals on the use of a civil liability system for environmental ... [Show full abstract] regulation. The conclusions that emerge from this discussion are: (i) ex post systems (for example, liability rules) are inadequate for the regulation of long-term risks; (ii) ex ante regulation should be based on the chemical characteristics which give rise to harm; (iii) any regulatory approach must be assessed carefully for the incentives for strategic behaviour that it creates. The paper concludes by making suggestions for the regulation of chemicals in the E.U. which reflect these general principles.
