PublicNet has an interesting overview of Urban Soil and how the urban environment functions in comparison to rural and what health effects that may have. More and more people are living in urban environments and this trend will only continue to increase over the coming decades. The article calls for people and governments to be aware of the dangers of air contamination from urban soil, which contains about 20% potentially hazardous materials, and to take steps to mitigate the dangers.We've discussed here before the dangers of air pollution and how it can exacerbate asthma, sinusitis, and other respiratory conditions. Being aware of the environments in which we live and work is important for maintaining good health and helping to reduce cases of asthma, sinusitis and other conditions. Steps should be taken by individuals and governments alike to help ensure the sustainability of urban environment and reduce pollutants that can result in serious health complications.
