ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND HEALTH EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE 2 Environmental Health and Health Effects on Environmental Change Introduction Environmental health is a part of environmental health that is involved with the analysis and monitoring of variables in the environment in a manner that is conducive to people's health. Preferably, in several aspects, the environment influences human wellbeing. Variables including air, soil and water are either ingested actively or indirectly by people, and unfavorable shifts in their nature will contribute to poor health for individuals who use them. In this respect, it is important to examine the role of toxins in the atmosphere and other improvements because of their impact on people's well-being. The field of environmental sustainability and the impact of health on environmental change is also essential to this analysis. Synopsis Basic information acquired about environmental healthcare facilities on the role of the climate in the well-being of citizens. The environment is liable for over 30 percent of adult mortality globally in this regard. In comparison, children are more sensitive than adults to conditions relevant to the climate. Humans can conform to their residential environment, according to Andersen, et al. (2018). Nevertheless, as a shift of natural stimulus happens, human bodies fail to respond and some get poisoned in the process. In addition, the management of environmental health issues, such as typhoid infection related to the ingestion of tainted water, is difficult because of the strong risk that a treated individual will contribute to the same habitat and will choose to consume the same contaminated water. Public health authorities must also consider the climate of individuals correctly, evaluate any current health risk factors, and establish region-specific responses to potential medical problems.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND HEALTH EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE 3 The main aim of nursing as a career is to return people's wellbeing to their normal selves and to avoid further illness that may contribute to medical problems. In this respect, nurses promote high standards of well-being for persons. Therefore, variables in the community that could exacerbate health complications go beyond the nurses' desired wishes. Nurses thus perform a part in the wellbeing of the environment that is mostly achieved implicitly ( Ehrlén & Morris, 2018). Nurses delivering hospital-based services mainly ensure that admitted clients are put in rooms clear from contaminants and adequate air circulation (Lundgren & McMakin, 2018). The purpose of this element is to avoid any nosocomial infections. The acts entail environmental health policy as they are mindful of the reality that the unhealthy environment can worsen the health of people who are already sick. Nurse practitioners give detailed information to persons on how to stay healthy. They inform them about contributing variables in the atmosphere that may contribute to poor health. The action also constitutes practice in the field of environmental health. Environmental Factors That Impact Health Many facets of the developed and natural world that may trigger medical problems for humans are associated with environmental health. The health of individuals may be affected by different influences in the community. Air quality is mainly provided a great deal of attention because of its role in people's everyday survival. In this respect, the existence of any hazardous compounds is measured both for indoor and outdoor air quality (Andersen et al., 2018). The consistency of water is indeed a major issue. Water for human use must be clean and clear from all contaminants in this respect. For healthcare experts focused on public protection, nutritional quality is a key concern. Ideally, all food interventions are tested and checked to be safe: from

Climate change is a big problem for practices in the area of public protection. Preferably, climate change continues to influence the distribution of some components in the environment and can even affect the distribution trends of pathogens that trigger disease. Biosafety is another field of interest for environmental protection. The idea refers to the mitigation of large-scale destruction of biological credibility ( Bengtsson-Palme et al., 2018). The emphasis is also on human wellbeing and biodiversity, and it helps preserve humans and their habitats from adverse consequences. The prevalence of toxic chemicals, building codes, the extent of emergency preparation land usage, and waste disposal are other small fields of interest for environmental safety. Personal Role in Eliminating Environmental Barriers to Health Statistics on deaths across the globe suggest that people are already dying regardless of environmental conditions. In response, most health institutions and municipal agencies are seeking to disseminate knowledge and educate citizens of how to better coexist with other facets of their habitats (Andersen et al., 2018). I believe that the absence of accurate knowledge about the possible risk factors and the failure to receive medical services in time is one of the factors contributing to health issues in the environment. I will therefore concentrate on educating residents about the health hazards and potential signs of infection in the area. In addition, in local healthcare centers, I would inspire some community representatives to take up first aid and common diagnostic instruction. The exercise would encourage them to provide primary treatment inside their group to infected people until they can access specialist care.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND HEALTH EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE 5 Summary and Conclusion It is evident that environmental health is a crucial field for the maintenance of public health. It primarily serves to deter infection from environmental-specific causes that eventually facilitate safe living. Basically, improvements in the climate are the primary source of people's medical problems, and this is also expressed in differences in the condition of the weather, water, and soil. Correspondingly, public health programs reflect on issues such as climate change and the existence of toxic chemicals that could contribute to health degradation. It is also important to warn people about environmental risk hazards and making it easier for them to receive medical services at all times.
