There is a fundamental and traditional relationship between public health and environmental protection.
Environmental health focuses on the impact of the environment on human health.
The protection of human health is the highest priority with the protection of the environment as one of the outcomes. Emphasis is placed on the assessment of human health risks from environmental exposures, minimizing these risks by making effective risk management decisions, and communicating these risks to the public and other entities to promote permanent change in behavior and production. In addition, promoting and maintaining environmental assets is also of extreme importance for society. Every individual is in daily contact with environmental factors that affect the air, food, water, and the soil. All of these factors have the potential to affect our health.
