can be integrated into sustainable development by: Improving environmental quality for the poorest populations with the greatest burden of environmental diseases, by reducing exposures to air pollution in homes and villages from biomass burning, and providing clean water and sanitation. (ex. of diseases that the people will acquire in air pollution; respiratory disease - asthma, allergies, COPD) ; infected water ( diarrhea, nausea and vomiting,)
Environmental health
Is Essential for Healthy Living: The more you don’t care about our environment, the more it will become polluted with contaminants and toxins that have a harmful impact on our health.

is a study process approach that is typically used to identify transportation issues, along with environmental concerns, in a corridor or a specific location.
Planning and Environment linkages
can be used to make planning decisions and for planning analysis.
PEL studies
is a study process approach that is typically used to identify transportation issues, along with environmental concerns, in a corridor or a specific location
PEL
It is generally conducted before any project construction phasing is identified, and before specific problems and solutions are known.
PEL
can be useful to discover needs and desires when a corridor crosses multiple jurisdictions, and can be used as a prioritization tool.
PEL process
should be able to link planning to environmental issues and result in useful information that can be carried forward into the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.
PEL studies
The adoption and use of a PEL study in the NEPA process is subject to determination by the

Industries
influences the amount and types of resources available for education.
Administrative support
carries an economic benefit because it is considered skilled care and is reimbursable by third-party payers in most instances.
patient education
is required to ensure nursing staff’s adequacy, the purchase of needed audiovisual materials and instructional equipment, time to develop content-specific materials, and the provision of space for teaching.
