The preservation of human health in polar and circumpolar regions depends mainly on the strategy for future development of these regions. The consequences of human intervention into northern ecology are irreversible, as in the case of the greenhouse effect, the industrial and atomic pollution of polar nature, the tundra devastation, the destruction of northern flora and fauna etc. The ongoing creation of large industrial population centres in the North by means of newcomers is to be stopped. Polar regions are to be used for biospheric reservation and tourist sanitary zones, to preserve specific flora and fauna, to provide the rhythms and customs necessary to survive in extreme climatic and geophysical conditions of high latitudes. The program for securing man's survival in circumpolar regions should comprise several stages of practical measures to provide necessary resources and to combine international efforts. The preservation of man's health must be based on the understanding of the interrelation between health and biospheric processes and the assessment of the role of human intervention into polar ecology. A program facilitating the preservation of human health and survival in the North and in the Antarctic should be initiated.
极地和环极地区人类健康的维护主要取决于这些地区未来的发展战略。人类对北方生态的干预后果是不可逆转的，比如温室效应、极地自然的工业和原子污染、冻原破坏、北方动植物的毁灭等情况。通过新来者在北方持续创建大型工业人口中心的做法应予以制止。极地地区应用于生物圈保护区和旅游卫生区，以保护特定的动植物，提供在高纬度极端气候和地球物理条件下生存所需的节奏和习俗。确保人类在环极地区生存的计划应包括几个阶段的实际措施，以提供必要资源并整合国际力量。人类健康的维护必须基于对健康与生物圈过程之间相互关系的理解以及对人类干预极地生态作用的评估。应启动一项促进北方和南极地区人类健康与生存保护的计划。
