Abstract
Environmental health is one of the emerging research and debate areas that has dominated headlines in the current past. The following discussion analyses environmental health and the impacting factors, and the role of human beings in eliminating the barriers to quality environmental health. It will comprise an introduction, synopsis, body, and the conclusion paragraph. The information draws from at least 3 pieces of literature on this particular subject.
Introduction
Environmental change refers to the frequent disturbance of the environment by either natural ecological events or human influences (Johnson, Ambrose, Bassett, Bowen, Crummey, Isaacson, Johnson, Lamb, Saul & Winter-Nelson, 1997). It may include such things as animal interaction, natural disasters, or human interference. It is noteworthy that environmental changes encompass much more than just the physical changes. It also involves infestation of the environment by invasive species. While most people use the term environmental change and climate change intertwiningly, it is worth noting that they mean denote different aspects and the interchangeable usage may result in erroneous conclusions. Climate change, connotes a variation in the average conditions of weather patterns. Environmental change plays a central role in the facilitation of climate change. It suffices to say that environmental change is the sole cause of climate change. The negative impacts of diverse and extreme climate change, therefore, are also direct impacts of environmental change.
