What is Environmental Health?

Environmental

Health (EH) is a field of science

that studies how the environment influences
human health and disease. As it is a branch of
public health protection, Eh is concerned with
all aspects of the natural and man made
environment that may affect human health.

 Environmental

Health is a very diverse field

where professionals perform a variety of tasks.
EH professionals are the individuals who
monitor air quality, water and noise pollution,
toxic substances and pesticides, conduct
restaurant inspections, carry out vector control
and promote healthy land use and housing.

Who are the Environmental

Specialists?
They

are professionals who do works

related to the environment by means of
research, outreach and education,
environmental clean-ups, investigations
and more.
Today due to a national shortage of
trained EH professionals, earning a
degree in environmental health is a
great career choice.
