Environmental health policy information


Environmental health policy is governmental action intended to prevent exposure to environmental hazards or "eliminate the effects of exposure to environmental hazards".[1]

There are several environmental policy goals that contribute to health including clean air and water, sanitation and hygiene, safe use of chemicals, workplace safety, health-supportive built environment, and sustainable agriculture.[2] Environmental health risk factors include: climate change, air and water pollution, some chemicals and biological agents, noise, radiation, unsafe workplaces, poor agricultural practices and built environments.[3]

Environmental health policy can be implemented at many levels of government, including the municipal, state and international levels.[4] International environmental health policies involve the cooperation of several countries to implement mutual policy goals to address larger environmental issues on health like pollution and climate change (i.e., Kyoto Protocol).
