“…iii) The results provided by the literature reveal that economic growth improves health status (Sirag et al, 2017;Majeed et al, 2021;Bouchoucha, 2021;Wang et al, 2020a;Azam et al, 2022;Bunyaminu et al, 2022;Hendrawaty et al, 2022;Sial et al, 2022). On the other hand, Ecevit et al (2022) indicate that economic growth negatively affects health outcomes in Turkey.…”

“…Table 1 provides a summary of these studies. The literature in Table 1 might be classified as follows: i) There is a consensus in the literature that environmental degradation rises infant mortality (Ecevit & Çetin, 2016;Majeed & Khan, 2019;Erdoğan et al, 2019;Shobande, 2020;Majeed & Ozturk, 2020;Omri et al, 2022;Yu et al, 2022;Tsai et al, 2022;Barua et al, 2022) and reduces life expectancy (Balan, 2016;Sirag et al, 2017;Matthew et al, 2018;Nkalu & Edeme, 2019;Erdoğan et al, 2019;Majeed & Khan, 2019;Majeed & Ozturk, 2020;Akter et al, 2020;Hossain et al, 2020;Rodriguez-Alvarez, 2021;Murthy et al, 2021;Alimi & Ajide, 2021;Chen et al, 2021;Bouchoucha, 2021;Rjoub et al, 2021;Azam et al, 2022;Omri et al, 2022;Rahman & Alam, 2022a;Arafat et al, 2022;Radmehr & Adebayo, 2022;Salehnia et al, 2022;Ibrahim, 2022;Bayar et al, 2022). Also, Mutizwa and Makochekanwa (2015) concluded that environmental degradation does not have an impact on infant mortality.…”

“…Since the pioneering theoretical and empirical work by Grossman (1972), it has been recognized that health outcomes are influenced by social, economic, and environmental ingredients (Fayissa & Gutema, 2008;Azam, Uddin & Saqib, 2022). After Grossman's work, various studies investigated the determinants of health status.…”

“…After these studies, social, economic, environmental and policy factors that determine health status were examined in the literature (Klomp & De Haan, 2008;Asemane, Emamgholipour & Rshidian, 2015;Nicholas, Edward & Bernardin, 2016;Kafili & Ghasemzade, 2019;Osakede, 2020;Ojo Olusoji et al, 2020;Alimi & Ajide, 2021;Doucouliagos, Hennessy & Mallick, 2021;Owumı & Alfred, 2021;Ibukun, 2021). Most of the studies in the literature have concluded that environmental pollution negatively affects health status (Sirag et al, 2017;Matthew et al, 2018;Majeed & Khan, 2019;Hossain et al, 2020;Shobande, 2020;Chen et al, 2021;Rahman & Alam, 2022a;Azam et al, 2022;Omri, et al, 2022). On the contrary, some of the previous studies concluded that environmental protection expenditure improved environmental quality (Farzanegan & Mennel, 2012;Bostan et al, 2016;He et al, 2018;Huang, 2018;Basoglu & Uzar, 2019).…”

The relationship between environment and health status has attracted intensive attention in recent years. However, limited studies have focused on environmental protection expenditure on health status. This study empirically tests the links of environmental protection expenditure with health status for 20 European countries over the period 1995-2019. For empirical analysis, this study used panel quantile regression. The empirical results show that while environmental protection expenditure, GDP, and education help to ameliorate health status, CO2 emissions worse health status. Hence, efficient environmental protection expenditure and environmental policies must align with strategies to improve health status.

“…The benefits of sanitation include among other things, reduced morbidity and decreased mortality rates, better nutrition among children, a cleaner environment, safe food, and increased impact of improved water suppliers. In addition, sanitation contributes to better learning and retention among school children, more dignity and privacy for everybody especially women and girls, and increased awareness of sanitation and hygiene (Azam et al, 2022). The importance of sanitation, therefore is maintaining safe schools cannot be underestimated, however, schools in many countries have been considered unsafe due to neglected sanitation operations (Sahiledengle et al, 2022).…”

The purpose of this study was to establish the contribution of the availability of sanitation facilities to the academic performance of children in pre-primary schools in Mathare Sub- County. The study was built on the theory of Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. A descriptive research design was used to achieve the research objectives. The target population was 68 Early Childhood Development Education centers distributed within Mathare Sub-County. Stratified sampling was used to select 136 teachers to participate in the study. A pilot study was undertaken to establish the reliability and validity of the research instruments. Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to generate both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study employed an independent sample t-test as well as a chi-square analysis. Data were presented in tables and charts and interpretations were made based on research objectives. Findings revealed that all schools under the study had functional hand-washing facilities. Most APBET schools had one hand washing facility with no soap most of the time. Very few have at least two hand washing facilities with no soap most of the time. All public schools had hand washing and anal cleansing materials. All public schools had hand washing and anal cleansing materials. However, the anal cleansing materials in public schools purposely served the teachers and staff alone. Findings revealed that the majority of schools did not have quality sanitation since an average of only 9 schools could meet the quality standards of sanitation in Mathare slums. Sanitation facilities in pre-primary schools were not fully utilizable as toilets were in pathetic conditions in more than 50% of the schools engaged in the study. the study concluded that there are big deficits in sanitation facilities and materials in the sampled schools of Mathare slums because all schools demonstrated that one toilet could be shared by over one hundred pupils at any given time during school hours. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education should conduct regular monitoring and evaluation of school sanitation and hygiene standards as part of its regulatory roles.

Forest fires release harmful pollutants, endangering public health and incurring substantial healthcare costs. This study empirically investigates the environment‐health‐economy relationship, utilizing a robust MM‐QR approach. Findings divulge that economic growth, urbanization, and tourism drive healthcare expenditure, while environmental factors like forest fires, resource depletion, species extinction, and environmental policy stringency also increase health spending. Conversely, renewable energy consumption lowers healthcare costs, while coal extraction raises them. Empirical estimates reveal that increase in forest fires raises health spending by , socioeconomic indicators by , and environmental factors by . Conversely, a rise in renewable energy usage cuts healthcare expenses by . This study underscores the urgency of addressing environmental degradation, especially forest fires, to mitigate their impacts on human well‐being.
