SCIENCE DAILY - About 40 percent of deaths worldwide are caused by
water, air and soil pollution, concludes a Cornell researcher. Such
environmental degradation, coupled with the growth in world population,
are major causes behind the rapid increase in human diseases, which the
World Health Organization has recently reported. Both factors contribute
to the malnourishment and disease susceptibility of 3.7 billion people,
he says.
David Pimentel, Cornell professor of ecology and agricultural sciences,
and a team of Cornell graduate students examined data from more than 120
published papers on the effects of population growth, malnutrition and
various kinds of environmental degradation on human diseases. Their
report is published in the online version of the journal Human Ecology
and will be published in the December print issue. . .
