Environmental Health

Environmental health refers to the branch of public health that focuses on the interactions between the environment and human health. It examines how environmental factors—such as air quality, water quality, chemical exposure, and climate changes—affect the health and well-being of individuals and communities. Environmental health seeks to identify and mitigate risks posed by environmental hazards that can lead to diseases, injuries, and other health issues. This field encompasses various areas, including toxicology, epidemiology, and environmental science, aiming to promote a safe and healthy environment to enhance public health outcomes. Efforts in environmental health often involve policy-making, regulation, and community engagement to ensure healthy environments for all.
