Environmental Health

Environmental health is the study and management of environmental factors that can influence human health, including physical, chemical, and biological conditions in natural and built environments. It focuses on preventing disease and promoting well-being by assessing, monitoring, and controlling environmental risks. Key areas include environmental science, toxicology, environmental epidemiology, and occupational medicine, all of which examine how environmental exposures affect human health and inform strategies for creating healthier surroundings.
