This brochure ‘Environmental Health in Germany’ (German title: “Umwelt und Gesundheit in Deutschland”) is addressing a set of topics related to environmental health – to our health and our environment. It is illustrated by everyday examples. From a series of representative surveys conducted in Germany (the most recent one in 2002), we know that one fourth of the German population  think that environmental problems have a strong or very strong impact on human health.  Two thirds are even afraid that future generations will suffer from adverse health effects caused by the environment.
