Bakács Tibor: Urbanization and human health (Budapest, 1972)

URBANIZATION AND HUMAN HEALTH ВУ T. BAKXOS The basic biological problems of urban­ization are treated in this monograph, such as the direct and indirect factors responsible for the disruption of bal­ance in ecology witnessed today. Further it is investigated how far the increasingly artificial urban environ­ment and chemicalization are respon­sible for this disbalance. The mea­sures necessary for the prevention of untoward long-term reactions are treated. The most important urbaniza­tion hazards: air and water pollution, inadequate treatment of sewage as well as the complex health injuries connected with the urban environ­ment are analysed. The author tried to find the solution of these urgent problems and suggested a number of important measures by which the hitherto spontaneous process of urban­ization could be made more predict­able and less dangerous to human health.
