Theoretical aspects of the concept of "quality of life" in the context of environmental safety : ст.

Abstract

Ensuring human life quality is mostly limited to the study of the economic component, and the environmental aspect is often overlooked. The impact of the environment is most often expressed in indicators of air, water, and soil pollution, but it should be borne in mind that the impact of the environment on food quality, human health, the viability of future generations is significant (Darmohray et al., 2019; Grymak et al., 2020; Kofonov et al., 2020; Lesyk et al., 2020; Martyshuk et al., 2020; Mazur et al., 2020; Piven et al., 2020; Slivinska et al., 2020; Boiko et al., 2020; Borshch et al., 2020; Sobolev et al., 2020). In Ukraine, the level of compensation for environmental pollution is set at the legislative level but does not calculate the cost of restoring health lost due to low environment and loss of the national economy due to reduced life expectancy. Such costs are accounted for in many countries worldwide and their alliances, such as the European Union. Even in the challenging political and economic situation in which our country currently finds itself, it is necessary to look for ways to strengthen environmental security to improve the quality of life, becoming more vital to Ukraine's position as a progressive state.
