      In fact a whole new branch of science (which Polish scientists call sozology) has come into being. The task of this science is to detect all those factors which produce undesirable effects for man when modern means of production clash with the environment; and also to search for ways and means to eliminate these conflicts.

      The geologist Goetel […] called sozology the interdisciplinary science which aims to conserve nature as a whole (both its biotic and abiotic portions) and its resources.
