THE INFLUENCE OF ECOLOGICAL FACTORS ON PRESERVING POPULATION HEALTH: ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION
Abstract
This article analyzes the impact of environmental factors on the health of the population. The direct impact of air, water and soil pollution, industrial waste, harmful emissions from transport, chemicals, as well as radiation and urban pollution on the normal functioning of the human body is considered. Studies show that the impact of environmental hazards on health is complex and multifaceted, inextricably linked to the socio-economic situation, nutritional culture, living conditions and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. The article also covers strategies for reducing environmental risk factors, implementing preventive measures, and harmonizing the environmental policies of state and non-governmental organizations. The results of the study demonstrate the importance of an integrated approach aimed at forming a healthy lifestyle of the population and reducing the risk of diseases.
