| Abstract | ||
| Continuing economic growth, coupled with technological development and the invention of modern technologies to exploit natural resources, have led to environmental degradation, due to high levels of pollution, leading to the widening of the ozone hole and the exacerbation of global warming. The study aimed to develop the health system in the cement industry to preserve the quality of life and natural resources by establishing a framework for estimating the cost of environmental degradation resulting from air pollution from the cement industry using the results of analysis of DNA for new employees to prevent occupational diseases. Using of pro-Cautionary Principle concept "to preserve human wealth. The study examined the effect of air pollution on the health status of current and new workers and the evaluation of the yield on the output and national income by introducing the results of the medical analyzes of the new employees to an electronic program to evaluate the genetic identification of the worker to estimate the future treatment costs and calculate the number of missed days that will be lost. , Opportunity cost lost due to illness, and loss of production. The analytical descriptive approach was used to form the theoretical framework for research, the scientific approach to the information systems of the practical framework, and the statistical data were analyzed by SPSS. The study recommended that using of information systems to take the health data is indicator for each employee, as a main factor, in order to improve production and productivity while preserving human wealth. | ||
