Things
to Remember
•
This discussion is for reference and
review to generate solid idea but not the substitute of text book.
•
During solving questions, always keep in
mind of “marks and time”.

own language so that it would be helpful to you for examination to get solved
all questions within the time frame covering all maximum points.
•
Be careful, some ‘a very few
questions but not all’ will be asked out of box. So, be prepared.

Inter
relationship of various Aspects of Environment, Population and Health
•
Health, Population and Environment are
closely inter related.
•
Influence on any one causes ultimate
effect on other two subjects

organisms, which is related to the conservation of environment.
Relation of Economic aspects to other
aspects:
•
Economic aspects of EPH is interrelated to the different aspects.
•
When population grows rapidly,
unemployment increases. Unemployment causes reduced economy, lack of nutrition,
treatment causing reduced health.
•
Similarly, unemployment causes poverty
and people start encroachment of forest and land to fulfill their needs.
•
These degrades environmental quality,
reduced health and increased mortality rate.
Relation of Science and technological
aspects to other aspects:
•
It has become possible to use internet,
email, easy access to information system, utilization of modern and luxurious
goods. It is a positive side.
•
But there are so many negative sides
too. There are so many impact causing environmental degradation and social
crime, insecurity.
•
Weapons, atomic bombs, rocket tests etc.
have adverse effects on environment.
Relation of Psychological aspects to
other aspects:
•
It is related to thinking, attitude,
emotions of people.
•
This psychological aspect is related to
the different aspects of environment, health and population.
•
The positive attitude of people to the
environment supports conservation of environment, utilization of resources
wisely, protection of flora and fauna.
•
This leads to the good health and
productive citizens.
Relation of Political aspects to other
aspects:
•
The candidates elected from election
prepare a system required for a nation. If system is environment friendly,
there is conservation of environment, then it will support health of people.
