Environmentally induced, occupational diseases with emphasis on chronic kidney disease of multifactorial origin affecting tropical countries

ConclusionCreating public awareness of environmental issues and their relationship to public health is essential. This includes regular monitoring and periodic publication of the quality of water,  air and soil; preventing deforestation and man-made soil erosion, increasing forest and ground cover, preventing occupational injuries, judicious and safe use of agrochemicals, sustainable agriculture and development programs, and implementing legislation to protect and conserve water heriage and  the environment. These actions are essential both for a healthier environment and for the health of the people who live in that environment. Such measures would also decrease public health threats from such, including global-warming-related erratic environmental changes and the occurrence and the spread of non-communicable diseases, such as CKDmfo.
