Zuhal Gündoğdu, Gonca Keskindemirci, Melike Zeynep Tuğrul Aksakal, Öykü Özbörü Aşkan, Emine Gülbin Gökçay

Physical environmental pollution affects quality of life and human health in various forms, and especially children are more susceptible to environmental effects. Our knowledge of adverse effects of physical environmental pollution on the health state of children increases day by day, and the physicians assume more responsibility for the tasks to be performed, and measures to be taken. This paper briefly deals with what measures could be taken to prevent and avoid adverse effects of somethe important physical environmental (air, water, nutrients, noise, and electromagnetic field etc.) polluters, thereby aiming both at increasing awareness and attracting attention to the problem among physicians and parents alike, and providing the parents, and the community counselling services based on evidence-based useful information.

Keywords: Child health, physical environmental pollution, effects and preventive measures

Fiziksel çevre kirliliği, yaşam kalitesini ve insan sağlığını özellikle de çevresel etkenlere daha fazla duyarlı olan çocukları çeşitli yönlerden etkilemektedir. Gün geçtikçe çevre kirliliğinin çocuk sağlığına olumsuz etkileriyle ilgili bilgiler daha çok artmakta ve bu konuda yapılabilecekler ve alınabilecek önlemler konusunda hekimlere daha çok görev düşmektedir. Bu makalede, fiziksel çevre kirliliği başlığı altında hava, su, besin, ses ve elektromanyetik alan kirliliğinin, bebek ve çocuk sağlığı üzerine olan zararlı etkileri, bu etkilerin nasıl engellenebileceği ve hangi önlemlerin alınabileceği ele alınmaktadır. Bu konuya özellikle hekimlerin dikkatini çekerek, ebeveynlere ve topluma danışmanlık hizmeti verilmesinde kanıta dayalı yararlı bilgilerin verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Keywords: Çocuk sağlığı, fiziksel çevre kirliliği, etkiler ve önlemler
