Portfolio task 5: The impact of physical environments on population health and wellbeing This task forms part of your portfolio assessment, specifically task 5 due this week (weighting 10% of the overall grade). Write a short essay (400 to 500 words) that discusses the following topic : 'The impact of physical environments on population health and wellbeing'. You will need to describe with supporting evidence from the literature how the physical environment you have chosen, impacts the health and wellbeing of a population. Impact on sub-populations or individual within a population may also be considered where appropriate. It will be necessary to link the impacts in terms of the determinants of health you have learnt about in the course. It should be clear from your essay whether the impact is adverse (harmful) or beneficial, with sound reasoning provided. The use of figures in your essay is discouraged. You may choose to detail a maximum of two aspects of the same physical environment, however the link between the two need to be well argued and supported within your description. The essay format must include a brief introduction, followed by the body text and a short conclusion. Use of subtitles is not required. The arguments presented must be relevant, concise and supported by the references, and avoid using quotes. When considering references for your essay, you may use course readings, but are also expected to retrieve research information more widely and refer to additional literature. A minimum of five references including at least three peer- reviewed references must be used. In-text citations are included in the word count but the reference list is excluded. Submit your assignment via the link provided under the week 6 menu on the Learnonline course page. You must use the UniSA Harvard referencing system for in-text references and your reference list for ALL material which is not your own. This includes academic references, quality primary sources e.g. Government websites, images apart from your own, and online articles. There are examples of how to do this in the Harvard UniSA Style guide and Roadmap to referencing. This task will be marked using the rubric below.

The human population suffers from several diseases due to the altered physical environment surrounding them and hence the wellbeing of the people is deteriorated.
Humans also affect the physical environment by deforestation, overuse of fossil fuels, overpopulation and polluting the environment, through which the environmental components are deteriorated affecting the human health in return. In this essay, I will address the impact of the physical environment on the population health and wellbeing.
Impact of Physical Environments on Population Health and Wellbeing
The physical environment is highly altered due to the human activities in the recent years. Increased deforestation has led to soil erosion and decreased soil quality.
