Abstract

Abstract: The usefulness of critical infrastructure is identified by the goods produced and services provided to society, with great efforts, including the protection of the environment and human health. In this article, the impact of critical infrastructures on the environment is examined from the perspective of environmental factors. Thus, the impact of critical infrastructures on the main environmental factors is examined from the perspective of air, water and soil pollution. Nowadays, the effects of environmental factors, including those produced by critical infrastructure, were seen most strongly in both climate change and the human health. This shows a series of chain reaction effects on nature, plants, animals and people around the world. The endeavor of several states and relevant organizations consists in the considerable effort to mitigate these effects.
