Overview

Environmental health is the branch of public health concerned with how the physical, chemical, and biological factors of the environment affect human health, and with assessing, controlling, and preventing the hazards that these factors can pose. It examines exposures in air, water, soil, food, and the built and occupational environment, including pollutants, chemicals, pathogens, and physical agents, and it considers how climate and ecological change influence patterns of disease and well-being. The field is inherently multidisciplinary, drawing on toxicology, epidemiology, microbiology, chemistry, and the social sciences to identify environmental risks, understand exposure pathways, and design interventions, policies, and education to reduce harm and promote healthier environments. Core concerns include safe water and sanitation, air quality, food safety, control of vector-borne and waterborne diseases, occupational safety, and resilience to climate-related and extreme environmental events. Research relevant to this topic, within the scope of Public Health International, includes work on occupational and environmental health benefits of smoking bans, the use of metabolomic tools in assessing environmental exposure, strategies to combat waterborne diseases, prevention and safety training to improve community health, and the vulnerabilities to health created by climate change and extreme hydrological events. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to environmental health and its role in protecting and improving population health.
