The Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" for environmental health work, and put forward five key tasks, such as vigorously improving residents' environmental health literacy and strengthening environmental health risk monitoring and evaluation, and 15 work arrangement.
A good environment is the basis for people's healthy survival and development. With the concept of environmental protection and health deeply rooted in people's hearts, the public's awareness of environmental protection and health has been greatly improved. However, in reality, there are still some individuals or enterprises who do not understand and pay enough attention to environmental governance and its impact on health, and littering and wanton discharge of noise, dust and waste gas occur from time to time.
The health hazards caused by environmental pollution are usually not easy to detect, and the development is gradual. Once the human body has obvious symptoms, the damage is often difficult to reverse. Therefore, whether it is environmental governance or health management, prevention beforehand is more important than "treatment" afterwards. This requires not only the relevant departments to strengthen supervision, but also the extensive participation of society. China's environmental protection law also clearly stipulates that all units and individuals have the obligation to protect the environment.
The "Planning" issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment highlights the universality of the whole people and takes vigorously improving residents' environmental health literacy as a key task. By guiding the public to understand environmental health risks scientifically and rationally, and letting the public know the necessary knowledge of ecological environmental protection and health risk prevention, it will help to enhance the public's awareness and ability to prevent environmental health risks, so as to better participate in environmental governance and health management. When people pay attention to self-protection, develop good living habits and behaviors, and actively reduce the contact and exposure of pollutants, they can also reduce or eliminate the harm of adverse factors in the environment to health, thus protecting the health of themselves and others. The plan also insists on prevention, clearly starting from key areas, key river basins, key industries and key pollutants, and actively controlling pollution factors with high environmental health risks. This is to minimize the occurrence of adverse health risks and protect public health rights and interests.
Environment is people's livelihood, and environmental protection is to meet people's basic health needs and let people produce and live in a good ecological environment. Protecting the environment is also protecting the life and health of each of us. It is expected that all kinds of social subjects can continuously enhance their legal awareness and social responsibility awareness, establish the concept of "protecting the ecological environment and maintaining health is everyone's responsibility", actively fulfill their legal obligations, practice green production and lifestyle, and contribute to building a clean, beautiful and healthy home.
