World Environmental Health Day 2022: Date, Theme, History, Significance, Quotes, Wishes, Messages, and more

World Environmental Health Day 2022: The day spreads awareness worldwide about the health of the environment and speeds up the discussion on the steps people can take to both protect the environment and ensure their safety from its threats.
According to the WHO, 24% of global deaths are linked to the environment, which is roughly 13.7 million deaths a year.
What is Environmental Health?
It is the science and practice of preventing human injury and illness and promoting well-being by finding and evaluating the sources of environmental and unsafe or hazardous agents. Also, limiting exposures to unsafe or hazardous physical, chemical, and biological agents in air, water, soil, food, and other environmental settings may adversely affect human health.
We can't ignore the fact that if the environment is healthy then almost one-quarter of the global burden of disease could be prevented. The COVID-19 pandemic is a reminder of the fragile relationship between people and our planet.
