Anthropogenic disruptions to animal sensory ecology are as old as our species. But what about the effect on human sensory ecology? Human sensory dysfunction is increasing globally at great economic and health costs (mental, physical, and social). Contemporary sensory problems are directly tied to human behavioral changes and activity as well as anthropogenic pollution. The evolutionary sensory ecology and anthropogenic disruptions to three human senses (vision, audition, olfaction) are examined along with the economic and health costs of functionally reduced senses and demographic risk factors contributing to impairment. The primary goals of the paper are (a) to sew an evolutionary and ecological thread through clinical narratives on sensory dysfunction that highlights the impact of the built environment on the senses, and (b) to highlight structural, demographic, and environmental injustices that create sensory inequities in risk and that promote health disparities.

人类世的感觉破坏和感觉不平等

人为破坏动物的感觉生态学与我们的物种一样古老。但是对人类感官生态的影响又如何呢？人类的感觉功能障碍在全球范围内以巨大的经济和健康成本（精神，身体和社会成本）增加。当代的感官问题与人类的行为变化和活动以及人为污染直接相关。研究了三种人类感官（视觉，听觉，嗅觉）的进化感官生态学和人为破坏，以及功能降低的感官的经济和健康成本以及造成损害的人口统计学风险因素。该论文的主要目标是（a）通过关于感觉功能障碍的临床叙述来缝合进化和生态学的线索，强调感觉环境对感官的影响，
