Salut i Força: the quality of the Mediterranean sea

Someone once said that an island was a portion of land surrounded by water on all sides except the one called... sky. If our habitat is the conjunction of land, air and water and this latter occupies the greater extension of the territory, it is easy to understand the incidence that the "health" of the sea acquires on the human health.

Salut i Força publishes this month a study on the environmental quality of the Mediterranean sea, from the regeneration of the beaches and the control of the spillage, up to the situation of the fishing and "blue flags".

Other important topics dealt with in the latest edition of the Balearic health magazine are the Programme for early detection of breast cancer in Mallorca, started in December 1998; the sexual relations as an omnipresent phenomena in the life of every person and new techniques for cardiac surgery developed by the Cardiac Surgery Service of the Balearics.
