Domaine(s)
  • Vocabulaire général
DEF

Se dit d'une maladie provoquée par l'environnement.

OBS

maladies envirogènes - Ce terme a été mal accueilli par le Comité parce qu'il remet en question le suffixe «gène» avec son double sens, actif ou passif. Le Comité propose écopathologie et maladie écogénique qui fait partie de la série «écologie».

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Effects of Pollution
CONT

Ecology plays more and more important role as an etiological factor of human diseases: congenital defects, tumours, immunodyzergies, hematopoietic and endocrine disorders. Two directions should be taken into consideration in establishing the role of ecology in human disease: pathology itself and ecogenic factor. The first one consists of the complex "populations at risk-pattern of mortality-ecogenic diseases, the second direction is "geography of potentially ecogenic diseases-correlation with geography of environmental pollution-eco-etiological factor".

CONT

Statistical data show that … there were over twice as many cases of prematurity (miscarriages, preterm deliveries), developmental failures, injuries of the children's nervous system and some malignant tumours (lungs, stomach, colon cancer). The increasing frequency of these pathologies is probably related to the increasing environmental pollution of the city. Therefore, the main stress of general environment … should be laid on the frequency of ecogenic diseases.
