When over a century ago the educator-poet Edwin Markham wrote,

"Why build the city glorious if man unbuilded grows " he was mindfully

observant of human needs and purposely directing his words to the very

core of societal issues now accepted as part of environmental health, in his

most widely known poem, "The Man with the Hoe," he made the individual

person the symbol of the exploited classes throughout the world and

focussed on the social and economic abuses of the day. He did not change

much. The abuses to life, limb, and spirit are still part of the scene, as too

many people remain unaware of the powerful relationship between their

environment and well-being.

This text is concerned chiefly with the alerting activity--a purposeful

effort to awaken individuals to the complex association between the en-

vironment and human productivity, health, and happiness. Fundamental to

the awakening process is the concept that survival and growtl~are firmly

rooted in the ecological perspective, in which the interrelationship of

all living things to one another and to their environment is an essential

acknowledgement and point of action.

The focus of attention is on these interrelationships and on the

stewardship requirements for planet Earth. From a study of the various

pollutions, both spectacular and subtle, it is hoped that the reader will be-

come absorbed in the all-encompassing idea that the ecosystem is everyone s

affair. Moreover, the coupling of environmental concepts with imaginative

health education efforts has the potential to bring about an enlightened

citizenry that will become individually involved in the recognition of

environmentally induced illness, disease prevention, and rational self-care.

To accomplish the above, the chapters proceed from discussions

of a quality life-style and ecological anxieties to the societal factors associated

with such items as the economics of environmental health, urban problems,

and social pathology. Thereafter follows a look at international health and

worldwide nutrition; air and water pollution; industrial and agricultural

,.pollution; epidemiology and disease control; nuclear energy and health;

natural resources, energy conservation, and mental well-being; and environ-

mental variables in the aging population, safe living, environmental health

services, the law and human welfare, and an education for health.

C~eat appreciation is extended to the following individuals who

contributed chapter materials: Dr. Theodore Blank, Massachusetts State

Department of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts (industrial and agricul-

tural pollutants); Dr. John E. Gay, Department of Health Science, Towson
