Environmental Health
Environmental health is the branch of public health that focuses on the interrelationships between people and their environment and the potential effects of environmental factors on human health. It is an important field of study since our environment, including air, water and land, are major determinants of our health and well-being. Environmental health encompasses a wide range of issues, from air, water and soil pollution to health-related policies, chemical and radiation exposure, and food safety. Environmental health scientists monitor and study the impacts of these environmental factors on people, providing evidence to inform policy makers and regulators, so that people are better protected from potential hazards.
