Environmental Health Assessment
An Environmental Health Assessment is a systematic process used to evaluate the potential health risks associated with environmental factors. This assessment examines various elements such as air quality, water quality, and exposure to hazardous substances. It aims to identify how these factors may impact human health and the environment.
The assessment often involves collecting data, analyzing it, and making recommendations to reduce risks. It can be applied in various settings, including communities, workplaces, and during the planning of new developments. By understanding these risks, policymakers and public health officials can implement strategies to protect public health and the environment.
