Environmental health is a branch of public health that focuses on the relationship between the environment and human health. It examines how environmental factors—such as air and water quality, chemical exposures, and the built environment—affect physical and mental well-being. The field seeks to identify and mitigate hazards in the environment that can lead to health problems, promote healthy behaviors, and advocate for policies that protect both the ecosystem and public health. Environmental health encompasses various aspects, including the study of toxic substances, waste management, climate change effects, and occupational health risks. Ultimately, it aims to create safe and healthy environments for communities to thrive.
