環境衛生學

Environmental health comprises those aspects of human health, including quality of life, that are determined by physical, biological, social, and psychosocial factors in the environment. It also refers to the theory and practice of assessing, correcting, controlling, and preventing those factors in the environment that can potentially affect adversely the health of present and future generations. There are several topics in this class that address environmental health careers in more detail. There is much to learn about the environment and its connections to human health discussion of some of the key questions and information needed to answer these questions are touched later on in this class.
