- W598797384 abstract "This volume is divided into three discussions. The first is the examination of the determinants of health in central and eastern Europe and contributions from history the physical environment the economy life styles and the social and political environment. The second part evaluates health exposure to harmful environmental conditions from mining poor town planning lead air pollution arsenic in drinking water microbiologically contaminated water food contaminants unique problems and concerns where data is lacking. The final discussion addresses environmental actions investments and the need for remediation-oriented health data. The evidence suggests that environmental pollution is one of a number of competing determinants of health including shortcomings in medical care and life style factors such as smoking diet and exercise. Data from 12 countries in central and eastern Europe are used to identify specific locations and the nature of the environmental problem. The countries include Bulgaria the Czech Republic Slovakia Hungary Poland Romania Estonia Latvia Lithuania Belarus western Russia and the Ukraine. The most common health problems pertain to lead in the air and soil and neurobehavioral dysfunction air-born dust and respiratory conditions sulfur dioxide and other gases nitrates in drinking water contaminants in food and contaminants in water. Drinking water is contaminated by inappropriate fertilizer application improperly located rural septic tanks feed lots and agricultural businesses. Contamination also occurs from inappropriate disposal of water contaminated with arsenic viruses or bacteria pesticides radionuclides and chlorinated organic compounds. Inappropriate handling or disposal of lead dust heavy metals pesticides polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated organics such as PCBs affect the toxicity of foods. Public investment will be required to speed up the process of environmental improvement and to address persistent environmental problems. Priorities are investment in dust collection systems emission reduction replacement of coal as fuel and proper disposal of manures and domestic septic waste." @default.
