Natural wellbeing involves getting a handle on the impacts of climate and humanmade weaknesses/perils and protection of human wellbeing and environmental systems from these hazards. This involves examining and evaluating the effects of manmade chemicals on the humanhealth or wildlife and how the ecological systems impact the spread of illnesses. It can include everything from managing the use of pesticides to the quality of drywall used in construction. It is the healthcare area that is gaining attention the world over as more studies are proving that the impact of environmental health extends beyond the individuals and can determine the cost of public health care and the health of the local economy. In short, environmental health is the study of how environmental factors can harm human health and how we can identify, control and mitigate such effects. When researchers are assessing the environmental health of a person or community they are looking at how external elements are impacting the mental, emotional and physical health of the individual, and at large. This book underlines the differences in health priorities that exist around the world, and cautions against the export of inappropriate attitudes from developed to less developed countries.
