The purpose of venous ecology is to study the effect of the environment on the peripheral vessels. It is very extensive but still little explored subject in need of multidisciplinary study. The author reviews some of the major problems of ecophlebology: --pollution and harmful effects of urban life (atmospheric pollution, stress and influence of noise on the vessels); --the influence of habitat (furniture, ergonomics, urbanism, sociological studies and under-floor heating); --the cites new research on terrestrial electro-magnettism, meteoropathology, biological clocks and the influence of the mass media. In conclusion he hopes that ecophlebology will be the object of research which will permit a better understanding, and hence better control, of the pathological mechanisms resulting from the environment.
静脉生态学的目的是研究环境对外周血管的影响。这是一个非常广泛但仍未得到充分探索的课题，需要多学科研究。作者回顾了生态静脉学的一些主要问题：——城市生活的污染和有害影响（大气污染、压力以及噪音对血管的影响）；——居住环境的影响（家具、人体工程学、城市规划、社会学研究以及地板供暖）；——引用了关于地电磁学、气象病理学、生物钟以及大众媒体影响的新研究。总之，他希望生态静脉学能成为研究对象，从而更好地理解并因此更好地控制由环境导致的病理机制。
