nvironmental health is that branch of public health that is concerned with all aspects of the natural and built

environment that may affect humanhealth. Other phrases that concern or refer to the discipline of environmental health include environmental public health, and environmental protection. The field of environmental health is closely related to environmental science and public health as environmental health is concerned with environmental factors affecting human health. "Environmental health addresses all the physical, chemical, and biological factors external to a person, and all the related factors impacting behaviours. It encompasses the assessment and control of those environmental factors that can potentially affect health. It is targeted towards preventing disease and creating health-supportive environments. This definition excludes behaviour not related to environment, as well as behaviour related to the social and cultural environment, as well as genetics.":[1]

ere's my list: 1. Improper Waste Disposal

Improper disposal of hazardous waste causes adverse effects on human health and environment. The effects are direct ingestion through drinking, inhalation of contaminants that volatilize from heated water, absorption through the skin during washing, consumption of goods derived from plants or animals exposed to polluted water. Waste disposal results in pollution of canal water and subsequently in death of animals due to cyanide contamination. Waste storage - You must store waste securely in appropriate containers, such as skips or labelled drums . You should cover waste material if necessary to prevent it blowing away,

4. SMOG mostly on Cities

Smog is made up of a combination of air pollutants that can compromise human health, harm the environment, and even cause property damage. Smog can cause or aggravate health problems such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and other respiratory problems as well as eye irritation and reduced resistance to colds and lung infections. Smog-forming pollutants come from many sources such as automobile exhaust, power plants, factories and many consumer products, including paint, hairspray, charcoal starter fluid, chemical solvents, and even plastic popcorn packaging. In typical urban areas, at least half of the smog precursors come from cars, buses, trucks, and boats.

5. MINING
According to the basic definition, mining means extracting minerals from the earth. Materials that are usually extracted from the earth that way are base metals, uranium, iron, limestone, coal, rock salt, potash, diamonds and precious metals. These are all the materials that cannot be created in a

It affects the health of the mining workers there. Since they leave puddles in the holes they've made, water-born diseases such as malaria occur. basically, people would get easily infected by diseases and can be extremely sick or may possibly die. 2. When the miners release the chemicals in to different water sources (ocean, rivers, lakes) people who don't even work for mining may get hurt by using these water to drink or to wash things, or even bathe them selves. 3. small scale miners (miners who mine in a small group of people around places) have to leave their homes along with their family for a long time and can not supply money or food for them until they come back. 4. violent stuff such as Theft, drugs/alcohol, prostitution, rape, and sexual abuse occur to innocent people or other people. 5. mining ruins cultural heritages such as sacred/holy sites for people.

6. Kaingin Farming
Kaingin farming, also known as slash and burn is a form of farming that consists of cutting down and burning of forests or woodlands so as to make fields for agriculture or pasture for domestic animals. Its main effect is that it destroys trees, which provides habitat for birds, and other wild animals.
The effect of kaingin system are flashfloods and landslides which can affect the health of people,destroy their shelter and wil have no food and water because of this destructive disaster.

9. Pollution
Pollution is the introduction of harmful contaminants into air, water or soil. These contaminants can have dire effects on entire ecosystems, making life more difficult for humans, plants and animals. Children and the elderly are particularly susceptible to the health effects from these toxins. In many cases, exposure to pollution has a cumulative effect on the body

11. overpopulation

The population of an environment by a particular species in excess of the environment's carrying capacity . The effects of overpopulation can include the depletion of resources, environmental deterioration, and the prevalence of famine and disease.
