Resumo
The assessment of the role of environmental factors in providing human health is very important. However, the obtaining of such assessments in practice is associated with considerable difficulties. Certain information on the environmental auspiciousness for the health of living beings can be obtained by using the health of environment methodology associated with the assessment of the condition of natural populations of different species of animals and plants by the developmental homeostasis. The experience of parallel studies of the health of humans and the environment indicates the prospects of using such estimates for a approximate characterization of the auspiciousness of a certain impact or quality of the environment to human health as well as for interpreting the results obtained in environmental epidemiology.
