Environmental Medicine

Environmental Medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on how environmental factors—like air and water pollution, chemicals, and living conditions—affect human health. In the context of Community Medicine, it involves studying the impact of these factors on populations, identifying health risks, and promoting healthy environments. This field aims to prevent illnesses related to environmental exposures and improve community health by advocating for cleaner air, safer drinking water, and better urban planning. By understanding these connections, we can enhance well-being and create healthier communities for everyone.
