Question

Essay on Healthy Planet and Healthy Population

Answer 1

Explanation:

The maintenance and improvement of health should be at the centre of concern about the environment and development. Yet health rarely receives high priority in environmental policies and development plans, rarely figures as an important item in environmental or development programmes, despite the fact that the quality of the environment and the nature of development are major determinants of health

Indeed, the most immediate problems in the world are ill health and premature death caused by biological agents in the human environment in water, food, air, and soil. They contribute to the premature death of millions of people, mostly infants and children, and to the ill health or disability of hundreds of millions more.
