Description

Written by environmental health experts with long teaching and professional careers in policy and public health, the third edition of “Environmental Policy and Public Health” comprises two volumes, addressing key physical hazards in the environment that impact public health.

The first volume on “Principal Health Hazards and Mitigation” is complemented by Volume 2, “Emerging Health Hazards and Mitigation.”Thoroughly updated, the first volume describes how the quality of air, water, and food are threatened by the presence of toxic substances and explains why climate change is a global health priority already impacting human health and the environment.

Each chapter explains step by step how new environmental health issues are translated into public health policies and concludes with practice questions to facilitate interactive learning for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in public health and environmental sciences. The second volume discusses emerging health hazards and mitigation including environment- related infectious diseases, COVID 19 pandemic, social justice, and drugs and public health.

New in this volume are a chapter on firearms violence as a public health hazard, a chapter on transportation and how built environments can affect human health and social well-being, and concludes with a chapter on noise and light pollution.

The volume concludes with case studies and practice questions to facilitate interactive learning for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in public health and environmental sciences.
