Hygiene and Environmental Health

Hygiene and Environmental Health refer to practices and conditions that promote health and prevent disease by ensuring safe and clean environments. Hygiene involves personal habits, like washing hands and maintaining cleanliness, to reduce the risk of infections. Environmental Health focuses on how our surroundings—air, water, soil, and food—affect our health. It addresses issues like pollution, waste management, and access to safe drinking water. Together, they aim to create a healthy living environment, reducing illness and improving quality of life for individuals and communities.
