ICYMI: Taking charge of our environment | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
Man’s environment is his immediate surroundings and this includes the living and non-living things around him. Man cannot live in isolation and as such he is bound to constantly interact with his environment. This interaction with the environment tells a lot about the wellbeing of man.In relation to health, the World Health Organisation , defines environment as, “all the physical, chemical and biological factors external to a person, and all the related behaviours.
Air, water and soil make up the non-living parts or the physical constituents of the environment. The quality of these elements determines environmental and human health. When these constituents of the environment are polluted or contaminated, then one might be easily exposed to some health risks. The sustainability of human life is dependent on the environment and it is also capable of infecting man with diseases if not well cared for.
Humanity has forgotten that the environment can exist without man, but no man without the environment. We are then at the mercy of the environment when we are attacked by diseases that are environmentally-induced.
