Abstract
Environment, environmental pollution caused by industrialization, mechanization, and excessive use of fossil fuels are among the main parameters affecting human life, and any relevant changes that can be made through educational mechanisms may affect the quality of human life in terms of health. Accordingly, the type, method, and degree of influence of these indicators, along with other factors affecting health in different regions, including Iran, are important. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the effect of education and environmental quality on improving health in Iran. For this purpose, this research investigated the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable using quantile regression and EViews 13 software during the period 1996–2022. The results of the estimation of the model in different quantiles indicate the existence of a negative relationship between air pollution pollutants (the emission of carbon dioxide and other gases caused by the consumption of fossil fuels) and health improvement in Iran. Also, the effects of education indicators, health care costs, per capita national income, and access to healthy food have been positive. Therefore, by considering economic and environmental factors and the education index, on the one hand, the environmental performance index can be improved, and on the other hand, through policymakers’ attention to appropriate policies in this direction, the health situation in Iran can be improved.
