Why learn health and environment?

Degradation of the environment has an impact on public health. Most microbes that make us sick from our immediate environment, they are in the air, in water and in the food we eat. More the environment is unhealthy more we are exposed to various diseases that can be transmitted from human to human. Some diseases are transmitted to us by the animals that live in our neighborhood. Some insects such as mosquitoes thrive in stagnant water and are vectors of malaria, a disease that causes a lot of damage in our regions. Also our good health depends heavily on the quality of our environment.
