Course description
This course is an exciting exploration of how the physical environment can protect or damage human health. Students will explore real-life current issues associated with safe drinking water, clean air and functional housing at a community level. They will build their understanding of the range of environmental health issues at a global, regional and local level- from climate change to urban green space. They will graduate from the course with a clear understanding of key terminology and a familiarity with the tools to reduce hazards, exposure and vulnerability to environmental health risks that can be applied in any position with an environmental health dimension.
