PINHAO, Francine  e  MARTINS, Isabel. Diferentes abordagens sobre o tema saúde e ambiente: desafios para o ensino de ciências. Ciência educ. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.04, pp.819-836. ISSN 1516-7313.

In this paper we outline a brief history of the relationship between health and environment issues through review of Brazilian literature in different fields of knowledge. From this discussion, we reflect more specifically on the ways through which these topics have been dealt with in schools and advocate for an approach that foregrounds relationships between environmental health and human health, with a view to expanding the possibilities of science education to deal with multidimensional approaches. Finally, we point to the necessity of investments in initial and continuing education for both science teachers and scientific researchers, to foster interdisciplinary practices.
