摘要：The paper deals with the problems of traditional comprehension, education and practice in the field of frequently discussed human health protection connected with excessive exposure to environmental toxicants and harmful life style. In addition, there is a need of acceptance of the indispensable basic health care law adequately addressing the issues of primary prevention in the restructured pattern of the general health service. The described future tasks require, besides consideration of some hygienic and epidemiological specifics, unrestrained mutual co-operation of the both medical branches. As documented by experience of some other fields of sciences the fastest progress can be expected when the individual disciplines overlap, e. g. methodical applications of molecular toxicology in environmental epidemiology. A wider range of applied epidemiological methods in clinical studies is awaiting us as well. The main topic of interest of the both disciplines remains the primary prevention of most widespread diseases and subsequent effort to positively influence the quality of human life.
