Because of the permanent interaction between man and his environment, our health is to a considerable extent determined by the community's environmental quality. As a consequence, community and health are closely related. Physical, as well as chemical and biological factors in the neighborhood region can have repercussions on our health, both physically and mentally.

Environmental disruptions, such as dispersion of dangerous substances, acidification, over-fertilization, photochemical and air pollution, climate change, ground pollution and nuisance have impact on human health. Aspects of environmental quality and life style that are not voluntarily chosen (e.g. passive smoking, noise nuisance, stress) are also distruptive. A basic principle of environmental policy must be to limit the negative influence of these disruptions on human health to non-harmful levels.
