Environmental health

From Appropedia

Environmental health is the branch of public health concerned with all aspects of the natural and built environment affecting human health. To effectively control factors that may affect health, the requirements that must be met to create a healthy environment must be determined. The major sub-disciplines of environmental health are environmental science, toxicology, environmental epidemiology, and environmental and occupational medicine.

It is considered an environmental issue as poor environmental quality causes poor health in human beings, bio-accumulation and poisoning.
