American Healthcare Summit: Track 31: Environmental Health
What is Environmental Health?
Environmental health is a subset of public health that focuses on the interactions between people
and their surroundings, promotes human health and well-being, and fosters healthy and safe communities.
Any comprehensive public health system must include environmental health.
What are the five major environmental health concerns?
Image results for environmental health management, hazardous material management, waste disposal systems, contaminated site remediation, underground storage tank leakage prevention, emergency responses, and hazardous material release prevention have become critical. Welcome to the 11th American Healthcare Summit which will take place on November 15-17, 2022 in San Francisco, USA.
We hope the American Healthcare Summit unites diverse researches and case studies from all over the world, in parallel sessions
while offering many networking and publishing opportunities. Discover the latest trends and challenges in the field at this leading healthcare conference.
What is the best way to define environmental health?
Environmental health is a branch of public health that focuses on the interactions between
people and their surroundings, promotes human health and well-being, and fosters healthy
and safe communities.
Background and Importance of Investing in an Effective Environmental Health Syste
Environmental health is a branch of public health that focuses on the interactions between
people and their surroundings, promotes human health and well-being, and fosters healthy and
safe communities.
Environmental health, as a fundamental component of a comprehensive public health system, works to advance
policies and program that reduce chemical and other environmental exposures in air, water, soil, and food to protect
residents and provide healthier environments.Environmental epidemiology is the study of the relationship between
environmental exposures (such as chemicals, radiation, and microbiological agents) and human health.
Because humans cannot ethically be exposed to agents that are known or suspected to cause disease,
observational studies, which simply observe exposures that people have already experienced, are common in
environmental epidemiology.
While environmental epidemiology’s inability to use experimental study designs is a limitation, this discipline
directly observes effects on human health rather than estimating effects from animal studies.
