Abstract：
Opportunities offered by precision medicine have long been promised in the medical and health literature. However, precision medicine - and the methodologies and approaches it relies on - also has adverse environmental impacts. As research into precision medicine continues to expand, there is a compelling need to consider these environmental impacts and develop means to mitigate them. In this article, we review the adverse environmental impacts associated with precision medicine, with a particular focus on those associated with its underlying need for data-intensive approaches. We illustrate the importance of considering the environmental impacts of precision medicine and describe the adverse health outcomes that are associated with climate change. We follow this with a description of how these environmental impacts are being addressed in both the health and data-driven technology sector. We then describe the (scant) literature on environmental impacts associated with data-driven precision medicine specifically. We finish by highlighting various environmental considerations that precision medicine researchers, and the field more broadly, should take into account.
摘要：
医学和健康文献早已承诺了精准医学提供的机会。然而,精准医学及其所依赖的方法和方法也对环境产生不利影响。随着精准医学的研究不断扩大，迫切需要考虑这些环境影响，并制定减轻这些影响的手段。在这篇文章中,我们回顾了与精准医学相关的不利环境影响，特别关注与其对数据密集型方法的潜在需求相关的那些。我们说明了考虑精准医学对环境的影响的重要性，并描述了与气候变化相关的不良健康结果。接下来，我们描述了如何在健康和数据驱动的技术领域解决这些环境影响。然后，我们专门描述了与数据驱动的精准医学相关的环境影响（很少）文献。最后，我们强调了精准医学研究人员的各种环境因素，更广泛的领域，应该考虑到。
