This specialized book addresses ecological issues that receive insufficient attention in public discourse. In many areas, the proposed solutions and required measures remain oddly vague or are subordinated to economic constraints or particular interests. The author exemplifies issues such as mobility, noise, and electromagnetic pollution. Throughout, the question is raised as to who benefits economically from these challenges and the current situation, and who bears the costs. This is particularly evident in the healthcare sector, which represents a growing market but also incurs high costs. Finally, possible strategies and solutions are discussed.
