Environmental Health
Environmental Health is a branch of public health that addresses the influence of the built, natural, and social environment on the health of individuals and populations. It aims to protect human health and promote well-being by studying and controlling potential environmental hazards that can cause injury, illness, or death. It can involve tracking, evaluating and educating the public, monitoring food safety, encouraging healthy lifestyles and communities, and conducting health assessments of risk factors in the environment. Environmental Health is an important part of public health and helps to inform decision makers and systems at all levels from local to international, to improve human health and the environment.
