En el avance de las ciencias, el campo del Medio Ambiente y la Salud ha sido ocupado por profesionales cualificados. Existe un punto de partida de actuación ambiental que fue con las Conferencias de Naciones Unidas sobre el Medio ambiente y el Desarrollo, también conocidas como las Cumbres de la Tierra, en 1972. La ética ambiental o ecoética, que a la vez se encuadra dentro de la Bioética global, Potter, 1988, habla de “Ética global” es “El estudio sistemático de la conducta humana en el área de las ciencias de la vida y la salud, examinando a la luz de los valores y principios morales”. Es en esta correlación de la ecoética y la salud que se estructura la Salud Ambiental, y es en donde podemos analizarla, desde el aspecto del modelo bioético principalista, establecido por Beauchamp y Childress en 1994. Los problemas de Salud Ambiental de hoy en día no tienen límites geográficos, como quedó patente por el accidente nuclear de Chernobyl de 1986. La resolución de los problemas ambientales, tienen un pilar de la aplicación en la bioética y ésta en la vez, en la Educación Ambiental; teniendo en cuenta la Carta de Belgrado, realizada en octubre de 1975. El tratado de educación ambiental hacia sociedades sustentables y de responsabilidad global, señala a la educación como un acto político de transformación y como proceso permanente basado en el respeto a todas las formas de vida, con perspectiva holística y pensamiento crítico e innovador. El análisis por medio del modelo bioético principalista del Medio Ambiente, en conjunción de la educación ambiental es un aporte de soluciones que se plantean en Salud Ambiental.In the advancement of science, the field of Environment and Health has been occupied by qualified professionals. A starting point for environmental action was the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Earth Summit in 1972. Ecoethics or environmental ethical, which in turn fits into the global Bioethics, Potter, 1988 , speaks of “global ethics “ is “ The systematic study of human behavior in the area of life sciences and health examined in the light of the values and moral principles” Is this correlation ecoethics and health Environmental Health is structured, and it is where we can analyze it from the aspect of bioethical principles model established by Beauchamp and Childress in 1994. Environmental Health issues today have no boundaries, as was evident by the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986. The resolution of environmental problems , have a pillar of the application in bioethics and in this time, environmental education , taking into account the Belgrade Charter , held in October 1975. The Treaty of environmental education towards sustainable societies and global responsibility, pointing to education as a political act of transformation and as an ongoing process based on respect for all forms of life, with holistic perspective and critical and innovative thinking. The analysis by the bioethical principles model Environment in conjunction with environmental education is providing solutions that arise in Environmental Health.

Republic of Ecuador Country Environmental Analysis : Environmental Quality and Natural Resource Management for Sustained Economic Growth and Poverty AlleviationWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2007-06-28)Ecuador is a country with exceptional natural resource and environmental advantages and challenges. It is strategically located and has considerable oil reserves in the interior and the coastal region. This document does not aim to describe the state of the environment in Ecuador. Rather, its main objective is to provide an analytical foundation to identify the country's institutional weaknesses and provide practical policy options that will enhance its capacity to establish and address environmental policy priorities linked to poverty reduction and sustained economic growth. Linking environmental considerations to sectoral projects and policies will provide important information on key synergies and tradeoffs involving the environment, economic growth, and poverty. The second objective is to guide environmental assistance and capacity building supported by the bank or other development partners through the assessment of capacity issues, especially in relation to specific environmental priorities. The main elements of the Country Environment Analysis (CEA) include analyses of: a) environment and natural- resource-related institutions, b) the environmental aspects of the oil sector, c) forestry, d) conservation, e) environmental-health, and f) climate change. The CEA also identifies policy recommendations and describes the role that the World Bank could play in helping the Government of Ecuador (GOE) strengthen its institutional capacity in order to address the country's natural resource and environmental problems in a more effective way.

Analysis of the Process of Environmental Impact Assessment in NicaraguaWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2015-07-23)Globally, an estimated 24 percent of the disease burden (healthy life years lost) and an estimated 23 percent of all deaths (premature mortality) are attributable to environmental risks (World Health Organization, or WHO 2006). The burden of disease is unequally shared, with the children and the poor being particularly affected. Among children between the ages 0 and 14, the proportion of deaths attributable to environmental risks, such as poor water and sanitation, indoor air pollution and vector-borne diseases, is estimated to be as high as 36 percent (WHO 2006). Several key messages have emerged from the process of putting together this study: (i) environmental health risks impose a significant burden on Nicaraguas economy, amounting to 2.6 billion Nicaraguan Cordoba (NIO) or 2.4 percent of the countrys Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and result in premature deaths and infections, especially in children under five; (ii) cost-effective interventions to address these environmental health risks exist and should be prioritized in Nicaragua; (iii) country-specific health and environmental data are somewhat limited, especially in the case of air quality, and data collection and monitoring need to be further strengthened; and (iv) the capacity of Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARENA) and Ministry of Health (MINSA) staff to conduct environmental health costing analysis needs to be strengthened through proper training.

Strengthening China's
 Environmental Protection Administrative System : Analysis
 and RecommendationsWorld Bank (2013-02-12)The Chinese economy has experienced an
 unprecedented 30-year period of economic growth and
 development that has delivered enormous social and economic
 benefits to the people but has had seriously adverse and
 continuing effects on the state of the environment. The
 government is well aware of the problem. Over the last five
 to ten years, environmental objectives have become
 increasingly important in priorities set under successive
 national five-year plans. To address these problems, the
 government has provided increasingly large infusions of
 capital and implemented a series of administrative reforms.
 Notwithstanding all these actions, the state of the national
 environment continues to deteriorate, and further action is
 clearly needed. This policy note focuses particularly on
 continuing issues related to the operations of the Ministry
 for Environmental Protection (MEP), including the legal
 framework under which it operates and its operational
 relationships with other agencies at the national level and
 with its counterparts at lower levels of government. This
 focus is justified given that MEP's effectiveness is
 critical to the effectiveness of the government's
 overall environmental objectives. Without an effective MEP,
 the other elements necessary for China's
 environmentally sustainable development will not be able to
 achieve these national goals.
