Environmental and Occupational Health

Environmental and Occupational Health focuses on the interactions between people and their environments, assessing how various factors like air and water quality, chemical exposure, and workplace conditions affect health. It aims to prevent illnesses and injuries by promoting safe practices and regulations. Environmental health looks at broader issues like pollution and climate change, while occupational health zeroes in on work-related hazards. Together, they seek to improve overall public health by ensuring safe environments both at home and in workplaces, helping to protect individuals and communities from harm.
