Effect of Ecology on Human Health

How does Ecology affect health? What is the environmental situation in Russia? Answers to these questions you will find in the article.

Currently, environmental consciousness is unable to cover everything
manifold factors of technological impact. Among them for the first
The plan is confidently the chemical, the number of which is currently
exceeded 18 million. Long-term adverse effect on
human health is fully appreciated only for less than 5% of
Approximately 70,000 synthetic chemicals used today
connections. In a number of regions, anthropogenic loads have long exceeded
Installed standards.

Many of the compound harmful to the human body have the ability to accumulate in tissues, and, above all, in the bones.

Per
day man inhales about 12-15 m3 oxygen, but highlights
Approximately 580 liters of carbon dioxide. Therefore, atmospheric air
is one of the main vital elements of the surrounding
Environments.

In children living near powerful power plants, not
equipped with dust collectors, detect changes in the lungs, similar
With Silicose Forms. Large air pollution smoke and soot,
continued within a few days can cause poisoning
fatal people.

Especially destructive acts on

Conditions contribute to air over the city.

Inhaled solid and liquid particles with dimensions of 0.6-1.0 μm reach

Polluted air annoys more
Part of the respiratory tract, causing bronchitis, emphysem, asthma. TO
The stimuli causing these diseases includes SO2 and SO3, nitrogenous
Couples, HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, H2S, Phosphorus and its connections. Dust containing
Silicon oxides cause severe pulmonary disease - silicosis.
Studies conducted in the UK showed a very close connection
between atmospheric pollution and mortality from bronchitis.

Signs
and the consequences of the actions of air pollutants on the human body
manifest themselves mostly in the deterioration of the overall health status:
headaches appear, nausea, a sense of weakness, decreases or
Disability is lost.

Emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere
from stationary sources located on the territory of the Russian Federation are constituted
about 60% of the total emissions of the former USSR and in 2003 were
equal to 24.8 million.tons of harmful substances, including in million.T:

The main part of industrial emissions from stationary sources falls on the European territory of the Russian Federation - 65%.

Environmental situation in Russia

Currently, the level of pollution of the atmosphere in
cities of Russia are very high. Control of Pollution Atmosphere on
Russia is carried out in 334 cities, the observation system
Includes 1185 stations. According to the observation stations, the maximum
One-time concentrations of such pollutants like dust, oxide
Carbon, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon, phenol,
hydrogen fluoride sometimes multiply exceed MPC. It became typical
10 multiple and 5 times the excess of this value in the overwhelming
Most cities, especially for nitrogen and dust dioxide. At the same time in
Many cities are polluted by several harmful substances at once,
and the high level of air pollution benz (a) with Pyrene.
More than 50 million. The Russian population of Russia has the impact of various
harmful substances contained in the air of settlements in
concentrations 10 MPC and above.

Analysis of the ecological state
Lands of the Russian Federation shows that there is a sharp
the increase in the pace of degradation and soil pollution, which in a number
regions of the Russian Federation in the coming years may become
irreversible.

Some of the chemical compounds, including
Carbohydrate carbohydrates, can be absorbed from soil by plants, and then
through milk and meat to enter the human body, causing changes in
state of health.

Analysis of surface water quality on
The territory of the Russian Federation showed that they are mainly
Are contaminated with petroleum products, phenols, easily acidic organic
oxidation, compounds of heavy nitrogen metals, and
Specific polluting substances - lignin, xanthanges,
formaldehyde and others who come with wastewater
enterprise of industry, rural and utilities, and
Also with surface drain from the water bosses and from the city road network.

Water,
which we consume should be clean. Diseases transmitted through
Polluted water, cause deterioration of health, disability
and the death of a huge number of people, especially children, mainly in less
developed countries, the usual for which is the low level of personal and
Communal hygiene. Diseases such as abdominal typhoid, dysentery,
cholera, ankylostomosis, are transferred primarily to a person as a result
Pollution of water sources excrement allocated from the body
Patients.

Without exaggeration, we can say that
high quality water that meets sanitary and hygienic and
Epidemiological requirements, is one of the indispensable conditions
Preservation of people's health. But that she benefit, it is necessary
Clean from all harmful impurities and deliver a clean person.
