Environmental Health Legislation and Policy

Environmental health legislation and policy are laws and regulations designed to protect public health by ensuring a safe and clean environment. This includes controlling pollution, managing hazardous waste, and ensuring safe water and air quality. These laws are created by governments to address risks that can harm human health, such as exposure to toxic substances or outbreaks of diseases. Policies are frameworks that guide decision-making and actions to promote healthier environments. Together, they aim to prevent health problems caused by environmental factors and ensure sustainable practices for the benefit of current and future generations.
