      Some short questions solved.

      Different aspects of health and population are inter related to the biological aspects of environment.
      All nutrition, food, vegetables etc are achieved to people from plants.
      Where land is fertile, agro products are sufficiently found. There population density is also more. Animal husbandry also grows there. The health of people becomes good due to fresh foods

      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.
