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.
