Environmental health is the branch of public health that focuses on the interactions between people and their environment and how these interactions affect human health and well-being. It encompasses physical, chemical, biological, and social factors in the environment that can influence health, such as air and water quality, chemical exposures, radiation, sanitation, housing conditions, and occupational hazards. Key goals include preventing disease, reducing health risks, and promoting healthy environments through policies, education, regulation, and research. Environmental health addresses issues such as pollution, waste management, vector-borne diseases, climate change, and workplace safety, aiming to create conditions that support sustainable and healthy communities.
