biodegradation, environmental ; elimination of environmental pollutants; pesticides and other waste using living organisms, usually involving intervention of environmental or sanitation engineers. (MeSH)air pollution ; is a mixture of natural and man-made substances in the air we breathe. It is typically separated into two categories: outdoor air pollution and indoor air pollution. (NIEHS gloss)carcinogens, environmental ; carcinogenic substances that are found in the environment. (MeSH)Conservation of Water Resources : Preservation and or management of WATER RESOURCES especially under conditions of scarce supply (MeSH) ecotoxicology ; the study of environmental pollution and the toxic effects of environmental pollutants on the ecosystem. the term was coined by Truhaut in 1969. (MeSH)ENVIRONMENT all external conditions which can influence the individual or the population. It is subdivided into physical, social, cultural, natural, artificial etc.(Woncadic)
Environmental Agents ;These topics are chemicals or factors in the environment to which humans are exposed that may cause adverse health effects. (NIEHS gloss) environmental exposure; the exposure to potentially harmful chemical, physical, or biological agents in the environment or to environmental factors that may include ionizing radiation, pathogenic organisms, or toxic chemicals(MeSH)environmental health ; the science of controlling or modifying those conditions, influences, or forces surrounding man which relate to promoting, establishing, and maintaining health (MeSH)ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH branch of medicine which deals with the relationship between the environment and health.(Woncadic)Environmental Medicine ; Medical specialty concerned with environmental factors that may impinge upon human disease, and development of methods for the detection, prevention, and control of environmentally related disease.(MeSH)environmental monitoring ; the monitoring of the level of toxins, chemical pollutants, microbial contaminants, or other harmful substances in the environment (soil, air, and water), workplace, or in the bodies of people and animals present in that environment. (MeSH)environmental pollutants ; substances or energies, for example heat or light, which when introduced into the air, water, or land threaten life or health of individuals or ecosystems. (MeSH)environmental pollution ; contamination of the air, bodies of water, or land with substances that are harmful to human health and the environment. (MeSH) Environmental Psychology ; The field that studies interactions between individuals and the built and natural environment. It includes investigating behaviors that inhibit or foster sustainable, climate-healthy, and nature-enhancing choices. (MeSH2016)Geological Hazard: Geological processes or phenomena that may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation. (reliefweb)Hydrometeorological Hazards: Natural processes or phenomena of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic nature that may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation. (Reliefweb)Natural Hazards: Natural processes or phenomena that may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation. (Reliefweb)Non-Point Source Pollution : Water pollution from a variety of diffuse sources carried over or through the ground and into water sources such as LAKES; RIVERS; WETLANDS; coastal waters; and GROUNDWATER. Such diffuse sources include roadways and parking lots (GASOLINE; HEAVY METALS; and motor oil), lawns or agricultural land (excess FERTILIZERS, livestock excrement, and PESTICIDES), landfill seepage, and construction sites (chemicals and trash used in construction processes).(MeSH 2018)Sustainable Growth ; Achievement of an economic system that can continue to grow for the foreseeable future.(MeSH 2018)Technological Hazards: Hazards originating from technological or industrial accidents, dangerous procedures, infrastructure failures or specific human activities that may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation.
