Abstrakt:	The study aimed to critically assess secondary school students' perceptions of the nature and magnitude of environmental health problems in Mtwara town, Tanzania. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data, while descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, mean, or standard deviation were applied to describe the basic characteristics of the data. Principal components analysis was used to examine the dominant modes of variation of functional data in environmental health concerns of Mtwara town. The students perceived the following seven environmental health issues that are urgent in Mtwara town: water supply and management, natural disasters, sanitation and hygiene, solid waste, air quality, climate change, and population concern. To ensure that generations live in a healthy and safe environment, one must consider creating environmentally conscious individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
