This review examines the impact of breaching planetary boundaries on human health and potential future threats, emphasizing the need for effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. Through a rigorous literature review of 142 high-quality articles, we explore the health implications of breaching planetary boundaries such as climate change, land system change, biodiversity loss, biogeochemical flows, aerosol loading, stratospheric ozone depletion, freshwater use, novel entities, and ocean acidification. Our findings indicate a direct association between breached planetary boundaries and a range of health risks, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, increased infectious disease vulnerability, and nutritional impacts due to compromised food sources. The analysis highlights the disproportionate effects on vulnerable populations and underscores the significance of localized and global strategies in mitigating these health threats. Effective measures, including urban planning for green spaces and pollution control, have been identified as crucial. The review calls for an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to safeguard human health against the backdrop of environmental degradation, stressing the urgency of global collaboration in policy development and implementation.
本综述探讨了突破地球边界对人类健康的影响以及未来潜在威胁，强调了有效缓解和适应策略的必要性。通过对142篇高质量文章进行严格的文献综述，我们探究了突破地球边界（如气候变化、土地系统变化、生物多样性丧失、生物地球化学流动、气溶胶负荷、平流层臭氧消耗、淡水使用、新出现的实体以及海洋酸化）所带来的健康影响。我们的研究结果表明，突破地球边界与一系列健康风险之间存在直接关联，包括呼吸道和心血管疾病、传染病易感性增加以及因食物来源受损而产生的营养影响。分析突出了对弱势群体的不成比例影响，并强调了地方和全球战略在减轻这些健康威胁方面的重要性。已确定包括绿色空间城市规划和污染控制在内的有效措施至关重要。该综述呼吁采取综合、跨学科的方法，在环境退化的背景下保障人类健康，强调全球在政策制定和实施方面合作的紧迫性。
