Abstract

Human health care and environmental preservation are two interconnected aspects of modern life. Synthetic organic compounds have significantly contributed to various industries, including agriculture and cosmetics, offering notable benefits. However, these compounds also pose risks to human health and environmental sustainability. This study aims to review synthetic organic compounds from multiple perspectives, comprehensively understanding their toxicological impacts and focusing on their potential risks to human health and the environment while exploring safer alternatives and mitigation strategies. A literature review approach was employed by sourcing primary articles using keywords related to synthetic organic compounds and their impacts. Databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Elsevier were utilized, alongside more than 50 secondary sources, for in-depth analysis. The findings highlight the potential adverse effects of exposure to these compounds and evaluate existing regulatory measures, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced strategies to mitigate associated risks. By emphasizing the principles of green chemistry, this review advocates for sustainable practices to reduce long-term contamination, thus protecting human health and the environment. This study contributes to nursing and health science by raising awareness about toxic exposures to synthetic compounds daily and offers valuable insights to inform policy frameworks and practical interventions. These insights aim to minimize health risks while supporting nurses’ roles in health promotion and disease prevention, enhancing their capacity to effectively address environmental and chemical health concerns.

Abstract

Climate change is not only an environmental challenge but a profound justice crisis, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities in low- and middle-income regions by intensifying social, economic, and health inequalities. In the digital age, rethinking climate justice requires integrating digital health innovations to strengthen health system resilience and equity. This study aims to reconceptualize climate justice in the digital age by examining the disproportionate health impacts of climate change on marginalized communities, evaluating the potential of digital innovations to strengthen resilient and equitable health systems, and proposing inclusive pathways that align digital transformation with human rights to safeguard vulnerable populations. The research employed a qualitative review and analytical approach, drawing on interdisciplinary literature from environmental sociology, climate policy, human rights law, and international development. It examined the intersection of environmental degradation, social exclusion, and health vulnerabilities, focusing on women, children, indigenous peoples, and ethnic minorities. Findings indicated that digital tools, including telemedicine and mobile health applications, enhanced healthcare access, system responsiveness, and equitable service delivery in climate-impacted regions. However, persistent barriers such as digital divides, weak infrastructure, and insufficiently inclusive governance limited their effectiveness. By bridging climate justice and digital health, the study offered actionable policy pathways and research directions to promote equitable health resilience amid escalating climate risks. These insights underscored the need for an integrated, rights-based, and intersectional framework that aligned digital transformation with climate justice, enabling inclusive policies and interventions that protected vulnerable populations and strengthened long-term health system adaptability.
