The Double Burden of Pollution on Human Health and the Destroyed Environmental Conditions: Systematic Literature Review

Human activities, including production, transportation, and agriculture, contribute to environmental problems such as air and water pollution, soil contamination, and biodiversity loss, necessitating immediate public health interventions. The research aimed to assess the burden of pollution on human health and the destroyed environmental conditions. This study used the PRISMA Method to perform a systematic review of 64 papers on the risk of pollution to human health and the destroyed environmental conditions. The research was carried out using databases such as PubMed, BMC, and Google Scholar. This study aims to evaluate, classify, and categorize findings based on evidence from 38 previous studies to ensure an understanding of the risk of pollution to human health and the destroyed environmental conditions. The study found that environmental issues, such as acid rain, haze, and ozone depletion, are damaging water, soil, and buildings. It affects aquatic ecosystems and human health. Air pollution impacts children's development and well-being. Water pollution, caused by pathogens, chemicals, plastics, and heavy metals, poses a significant threat to human health.
