Urban Environmental Health

Urban Environmental Health focuses on how the environment in cities affects people's health. This includes examining issues like air and water quality, waste management, noise pollution, and the availability of green spaces. Urban settings often face unique challenges, such as overcrowding and industrial pollution, which can contribute to health problems like respiratory diseases, stress, and chronic conditions. By understanding these factors, professionals work to create healthier urban environments, ensuring that city dwellers have access to clean air and water, safe housing, and opportunities for physical activity, ultimately improving the overall quality of life in urban areas.
