Overview

Environmental health is the branch of public health concerned with the interrelationships between people and their physical, chemical, biological, and social environments, and with how environmental factors affect human health and well-being. It addresses the determinants found in air, water, soil, food, and the built and natural environment, and seeks to identify, assess, and control exposures that cause or contribute to disease. The field spans occupational and community settings and integrates exposure science, epidemiology, toxicology, and prevention. Research relevant to this area includes the occupational and environmental health benefits of tobacco-control measures such as smoking bans, the use of metabolomic tools to assess environmental exposure, and prevention and safety training to improve community health. Further work examines the dynamics of waterborne and vector-borne disease, including mathematical modelling of typhoid transmission and municipal decision-making to combat waterborne illness, as well as vulnerabilities arising from climate change and extreme hydrological events and the determinants needed for risk reduction. Biological monitoring of ecosystems and the application of biotechnology to environmental management also fall within its scope. Environmental health is significant because the quality of air, water, and land is a major determinant of population health and of health equity. Study of the field encompasses exposure and risk assessment, the surveillance of environmentally mediated disease, and the design of interventions to protect health.
