Analysing the latest data on the environment-disease nexus and the devastating impact of environmental hazards and risks on global health, backed up by expert opinion, this report covers more than 130 diseases and injuries. The analysis shows that 23% of global deaths (and 26% of deaths among children under five) are due to modifiable environmental factors--and therefore can be prevented. Stroke, ischaemic heart disease, diarrhoea and cancers head the list. People in low-income countries bear the greatest disease burden, with the exception of noncommunicable diseases. The report's unequivocal evidence should add impetus to coordinating global efforts to promote healthy environments--often through well-established, cost-effective interventions. This analysis will inform those who want to better understand the transformational spirit of the Sustainable Development Goals agreed by Heads of State in September 2015. The results of the analysis underscore the pressing importance of stronger intersectoral action to create healthier environments that will contribute to sustainably improving the lives of millions around the world."--Page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Environmental health. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85044173 650 0 $a Environmental monitoring. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85044194 650 0 $a Health risk assessment. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85059598 650 7 $a Environmental health. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912999 650 7 $a Environmental monitoring. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913214 650 7 $a Health risk assessment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00953250 650 12 $a Environmental Health $x trends. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004782Q000639 650 22 $a Communicable Disease Control. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003140 650 22 $a Environmental Monitoring. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004784 650 22 $a Global Health $x trends. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014943Q000639 650 22 $a Risk Assessment. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018570 650 22 $a Risk Factors. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D012307 655 2 $a Statistics. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020500 655 2 $a Tables. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020501 700 1 $a Wolf, J., $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n88020055 700 1 $a CorvalaÌn, C. $q (Carlos), $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n96802304 700 1 $a Bos, Robert, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2003113881 700 1 $a Neira, M., $e author. 710 2 $a World Health Organization, $e publisher. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79059041 710 2 $a World Health Organization. $b Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health, $e issuing body. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015130402 720 $a World Health Organization $4 cor 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180117013806.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82A8D64CFB5411E7891C5F6197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
