Healthcare and the environment.
There are many reasons why you should be concerned about the environment, particularly if you are a healthcare professional. Every environmental pollutant is also associated with a human health risk. So improving the environment will mean better healthcare. In addition we should make sure all our actions are such as not to impair the development of future generations. National governments and, in particular, the European Commission have recognised this public concern and have generated a large amount of environmental legislation in order to change the way we behave. A summary of this legislation is provided along with more detailed discussions on waste legislation.
