Sağlık ve Çevre Etkileşimine AB Perspektifinden Yaklaşmak

Abstract

In its broadest definition, the environment is everything that surrounds us and is the habitat of all living things. The people and the environment where they live affect each other mutually and continuously. In order to maintain healthy and wealthy life, it is necessary for people to live in a clean and healthy environment. From this point of view, human health and well-being and the state of the environment are closely related. The protection of human health is only possible with the protection of the environment and its usage without pollution. European Union has created very significant and very extensive legislation on the protection of the environment and has built this legislation on the priority of the protection of human health. In this study, the content of the environmental-health relationship in the European Union and the impact of health on the environment are examined. This study has been handled with a descriptive method The conclusion of the study is that; in the context of human public health, health has a decisive effect in shaping environmental actions and processes. While the protection of human health has become a priority target in all actions and decisions within the Union, this situation has considerably prevented the protection of the environment.
