Healthy soil is foundational to human health. Healthy soil is needed to grow crops, provides food, and sustains populations. It supports diverse ecosystems and critical ecological services such as pollination. It stores water and prevents floods. It captures carbon and slows global climate change. Soil pollution is a great and growing threat to human health. Soil may be polluted by heavy metals, organic chemicals such as pesticides, biological pathogens, and micro/nanoplastic particles. Pollution reduces soil's ability to yield food. It results in food crop contamination and disease. Soil pollutants wash into rivers causing water pollution. Deforestation causes soil erosion, liberates sequestered pollutants, and generates airborne dust. Pollution of air, water, and soil is responsible for at least 9 million deaths each year. More than 60% of pollution-related disease and death is due to cardiovascular disease. Recognizing the importance of pollution to human health, the European Commission and the EU Action Plan for 2050: A Healthy Planet for All, have determined that air, water, and soil pollution must be reduced to levels that cause no harm to human or ecosystem health. We are thus required to create a toxic-free environment, respect the concept of a safe operating space for humanity, and sustain the health of our planet for future generations. This review article summarizes current knowledge of the links between soil health and human health and discusses the more important soil pollutants and their health effects.

土壤和水污染与人类健康：心脏病专家应该担心什么？

健康的土壤是人类健康的基础。需要健康的土壤来种植庄稼、提供食物和维持人口。它支持多样化的生态系统和重要的生态服务，如授粉。它储存水并防止洪水。它捕获碳并减缓全球气候变化。土壤污染对人类健康的威胁越来越大。土壤可能受到重金属、农药等有机化学物质、生物病原体和微/纳米塑料颗粒的污染。污染会降低土壤生产食物的能力。它会导致粮食作物污染和疾病。土壤污染物冲入河流造成水污染。砍伐森林会导致土壤侵蚀，释放隔离的污染物，并产生空气中的灰尘。空气、水和土壤污染每年至少导致 900 万人死亡。超过 60% 的污染相关疾病和死亡是由心血管疾病引起的。认识到污染对人类健康的重要性，欧盟委员会和欧盟 2050 年行动计划：人人享有健康的星球，已确定空气、水和土壤污染必须减少到不会对人类或生态系统健康造成危害的水平. 因此，我们需要创造一个无毒的环境，尊重人类安全运行空间的概念，并为子孙后代维持我们星球的健康。这篇评论文章总结了当前关于土壤健康与人类健康之间联系的知识，并讨论了更重要的土壤污染物及其对健康的影响。欧盟委员会和欧盟 2050 年行动计划：人人享有健康的星球，已确定空气、水和土壤污染必须减少到不会对人类或生态系统健康造成危害的水平。因此，我们需要创造一个无毒的环境，尊重人类安全运行空间的概念，并为子孙后代维持我们星球的健康。这篇评论文章总结了当前关于土壤健康与人类健康之间联系的知识，并讨论了更重要的土壤污染物及其对健康的影响。欧盟委员会和欧盟 2050 年行动计划：人人享有健康的星球，已确定空气、水和土壤污染必须减少到不会对人类或生态系统健康造成危害的水平。因此，我们需要创造一个无毒的环境，尊重人类安全运行空间的概念，并为子孙后代维持我们星球的健康。这篇评论文章总结了当前关于土壤健康与人类健康之间联系的知识，并讨论了更重要的土壤污染物及其对健康的影响。并为子孙后代维护我们星球的健康。这篇评论文章总结了当前关于土壤健康与人类健康之间联系的知识，并讨论了更重要的土壤污染物及其对健康的影响。并为子孙后代维护我们星球的健康。这篇评论文章总结了当前关于土壤健康与人类健康之间联系的知识，并讨论了更重要的土壤污染物及其对健康的影响。
