Environmental Health

Environmental health is a branch of public health that is concerned with how the environment, both natural and human-made, influences human disease, disability, and premature death. The course focuses primarily on the prevention and control of diseases and disabilities, and how the environment may be modified to reduce risk. Topics such as sustainability, infectious agents, product and food safety, pollutions, injuries, waste management, and occupational health will be examined. Service-learning activities are an integral part of this course.
