Abstract: Introduction: Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have impacted the planet, which has been investigated and reported. Humans and all other living beings have a permanent interdependence with the environment, which has become even more evident today. Objective: Analyze the main environmental changes generated by human activity and their impact on hematological health. Methods: A literature review was carried out in PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar and SciElo. We excluded those that were not relevant to the objective of this review and selected 15 articles. Articles published in English or Spanish and with scientific validity demonstrated from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, quasi-experimental or experimental studies were included. Development: Damage to water, air, and soil quality, the deterioration and loss of ecosystems, and the impact on flora and fauna have led to changes that translate into diverse and important hazards and risks for human health in the short and long term. The authors consider there is an urgent need to strengthen the link between environmental health and blood health. They emphasize that an integrative approach will improve medical care, anticipate risks, and reduce inequalities through the generation of scientific knowledge and the implementation of preventive strategies. Conclusions: The health sector must take an active and leading role in addressing environmental challenges, integrating an ecological perspective into public health programs.
