The environmental aspects of health
MIČANOVÁ, Pavlína
The topic of this thesis is The environmental aspects of health. This paper focuses on the impact of the environment on human health. A human being is constantly being exposed to many external environmental factors, which have a certain impact on one's health and can sometimes cause various diseases. The influence of the environment is a\very broad topic, which I tried to summarize and unify in an understandable manner, and then describe the most important influences of the surrounding environment. This paper is divided into two main parts. The first part targets environmental influences and the second deals with social influences. The environmental influences are then devided into three main chapters: physical, chemical and biological influences. The physical influences include the influence of radiation, the effect of sound, noise and vibration, the effect of weather and the effect of the geopathogenic zones. Regarding the chemical influences, I discussed air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution and waste. In the chapter on biological influences, I described viruses, prions, bacteria, parasites and mycotoxins. The second part deals with social influences where I focused on the topic of environmental stress. One of the goals of this paper was to study and to place into a system the real health risks and dangers originating from the environment. Another goal was to draw attention to the possible risks of environmental stress caused by the study conditions at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. This thesis can serve as an enrichment or an addition to the already existing works on the effects of the environment on humans.
