Population Health and Environment Interactions

Population health and environment interactions refer to how the well-being of communities is influenced by their surroundings. This includes factors like air quality, access to clean water, and the availability of green spaces. A healthy environment can promote better physical and mental health, while environmental issues—such as pollution or climate change—can lead to health problems. Understanding these relationships helps us identify ways to improve both public health and environmental sustainability, ensuring that our communities thrive in a balanced ecosystem. Ultimately, it’s about recognizing that our health and the health of our environment are interconnected.
