Abstract

Zdravstvena ekologija je onaj dio ekološke znanosti koji proučava međusobne odnose
tvari, sila i uvjeta u okolišu s jedne i zdravlja čovjeka s druge strane. Glavni je zadatak
zdravstvene ekologije pružiti kvantitativne podatke za zaštitu čovjekova zdravlja od
nepovoljnih utjecaja okoliša, a po mogućnosti i za unaprijeđenje zdravlja pozitivnim
utjecajem okoliša. Ona određuje razine izloženosti nekom čimbeniku koje se mogu prihvatiti
kao zanemarujući ili prihvatljiv zdravstveni rizik. Zdravstveno ekološki standardi okoliša su
podzakonski propisi kojima se određuju granice izloženosti da bi se zaštitilo zdravlje
populacije i potomstva od neželjenih učinaka.
Promocija zdravlja je proces osposobljavanja pojedinca i populacije da preuzmu
kontrolu nad svojim zdravljem i njegovim sastavnicama i na taj način poboljšaju svoje
zdravlje. Promocija zdravlja se provodi prvenstveno kroz javnozdravstvenu politiku.
Akcije i intervencije zdravstvene ekologije usmjerene su praćenju, proučavanju i
ocjenjivanju zdravstvene ispravnosti i kvalitete zraka, vode, hrane i tla. Neke od akcija koje su
se provodile u Hrvatskoj i u svijetu su: akcije protiv pušenja, akcije usmjerene smanjenju
prekomjernog unosa kuhinjske soli te akcija za osiguravanje zdravstveno ispravne vode za
piće.

Abstract (english)

Environmental health is a part of environmental science that studies the
interrelationship of the substance, force and environmental conditions on the one hand and
human health on the other. The main task of environmental health is to provide quantitative
data for the protection of human health from the adverse environmental effects, and
preferably improving the health of the population. It determines the level of exposure to a
factor that can be taken as ignoring or acceptable health risk. Environmental Health standards
are subordinate regulations governing the exposure limits to protect the health of the
population and the offspring of unwanted effects.
Health promotion is the process of enabling individuals and populations to take control
over their health and its components and thereby improve their health. Health promotion is
conducted primarily through public health policy.
Actions and environmental health interventions are focused on monitoring, studying
and evaluating the safety and quality of air, water, food and soil. Some actions that were
coundcted in Croatia and in the world are: actions against smoking, actions for the reduction
of excessive salt intake and actions for ensuring healthy drinking water.
