Abstract
Sociologically speaking, environment, especially the built environment has highly affected the human health in particular in
urban areas where population is more concentrated, merged with industries and the pollution diluted. The current urban life is
exposed to many disorders and health issues. Under such circumstances, the developed countries have access to better means of
treatment especially otolaryngological facilities, whereas the developing countries are generally in short of the necessary medical
means. What the developing countries need to do is to invest more on their educational atmosphere, wide-spreading education in
all corners of their countries regardless of race, gender, creed and color. That would be a good column for the next healthy generations.
Environmental health includes neighborhood spaces, schools, and the places where we live. Based on environmental sociological
perspectives, qualitative differences between different environments should be reduced to a minimum. However, population
density and extensive and continuous migration have caused different geographical environments to have different environmental
health. Environmental diseases largely reflect racial and class status such as habitat and climate which are interrelated, and also
affect human health.
Keywords: Environmental effects; air pollution; urban environment; environmental justice; healthy generations
