Environmental Health and Occupational Medicine

Environmental factors and occupational hazards play a significant role in shaping public health outcomes and influencing disease patterns in populations. Preventive medicine encompasses the study of environmental health risks, workplace exposures, and community health assessments to identify potential threats to human health. Occupational medicine focuses on the prevention and management of work-related illnesses, injuries, and exposures through health surveillance, risk assessments, and workplace interventions. By addressing environmental health concerns and occupational safety issues, healthcare professionals can promote healthier living environments, reduce occupational risks, and enhance the overall well-being of individuals in diverse settings.
