The environment and the economy are two sides of the same coin. If we cannot sustain the environment, we cannot sustain ourselves. Environmental risk is the probability and consequence of an unwanted accident. Because of deficiencies in waste management, waste transport, and waste treatment and disposal, several pollutants are released into the environment, which cause serious threats to human health along their way. Environmental risks are defined to be the chance of harmful effects to human health or to ecological systems resulting from exposure to an environmental stressor. A stressor is any physical, chemical, or biological entity that can induce an adverse effect in humans or ecosystems. Environmental risks to health include pollution, radiation, noise, land use patterns, work environment, and climate change. These risks are driven by policies in sectors outside the health sector, such as energy, industry, agriculture, transport, and land planning. The presentation gives better understanding on the topic.
