Abstract

The relationship with the environment is one of determinants of the health status of the human population. Many aspects of
today's society negatively affect the environment and, consequently, human health. In particular there seems to be a prevalence of diseases, linked to environmental pollution, which affects the female gender, almost to assume a role of gender pathogenicity.
But the female gender is also the promoter of changes; in fact, women are more sensitive to environmental health and adopt
more appropriate behavior to prevent environmental damage. It is precisely in the balance between these two aspects that we can see a factor promoting behaviors to combat the effects of environmental pollution on the mental health of Man.

Keywords
