Environment; It is a physical, chemical, biological, social, economic and cultural medium in which human beings and other living things maintain their relationships and interact with each other throughout their lives. Environmental pollution occurs mainly in the form of air, soil and water pollution and consequently affects the entire ecosystem including human beings. Changes in the composition of air to disrupt environmental balance along with the mixing of substances harmful to human health into the air causes air pollution. Soil pollution occurs as a degradation of soil properties and results in a decline in soil fertility. Soil pollution cannot be eliminated or transformed in nature and threatens human health. The transfer of wastewater from industrial plants and settlements into natural water sources without proper treatment, and irresponsible use of pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture cause pollution of surface and ground waters. Maintaining a healthy life is only possible with a healthy environment. The aim of this review is to investigate the effects of air, soil and water pollution on human health.
