The influence of outdoor air pollution on human health: estimations of economic damages

Abstract

Human health depends on the state of the environment. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 1994): “Environmental health comprises those aspects of human health, including quality of life, that are determined by physical, biological, social and psychological factors in the environment”. 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, and genetics. In general environmental health is related to the theory and practice of adverse factors influence minimization.
