The purpose of this paper was to prove that the standards for environmental friendliness set out by international law require the states to carry out Health Impact Assessment (HIA) before implementation of public or private investments having a potential human health impact even if national legal systems do not require it. The analysis of both soft international law and treaty law, as well as the case-law of international courts and tribunals show that Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the international law ius cogens. At the same time the human right to information and protection of life and health are regarded as fundamental human rights. According to the authors it means that carrying out proper Environmental Impact Assessment without Health Impact Assessment is not possible. It would be contrary to the human right to information and the obligation of the authorities to provide citizens with active transparency mentioned by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and with the principle of fair balance developed in the case-law of the similar European Court together with the objective on sustainable development adopted in Agenda 2030. According to the authors Health Impact Assessment is an immanent and integral part of environmental impact and the possible absence of provisions in the national law requiring investors to carry out HIA where EIA is necessary, does not justify the failure to assess.

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) and Health Impact Assessment (HIA) both play important roles in environmental and human health protection in many counties as well as in China. Some developed countries have mature experiences on integrating HIA into EIA for years from which we can learn. In this paper, the necessity, obstacles of Chinese EIA are analyzed and follow-up work is recommended. China should carry out related research, and gradually realize the integration of EIA and HIA.

Abstract To identify and analyze the contents of scientific literature on Health Impact Assessment in relation to the environment. An integrative literature review carried out by searching for studies in the Periodicals Portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel. A total of 38 studies were included; the period with the greatest number of publications was between 2012 and 2014, with studies developed mainly in Europe and North America. The categories that emerged were Health Impact Assessment practice; Health Impact Assessment and Urban Planning; Environmental Impact Assessment and Health Impact Assessment; and Environment and Health. There is a movement for the integration of Health Impact Assessment into Environmental Impact Assessment and the consequent institutionalization of that integration since Environmental Impact Assessment already has a consolidated legal base.
