Environmental Health: Foundations for Public Health brings together diverse voices and perspectives to examine our most pressing public health issues today. This foundational textbook introduces readers to a wide range of the knowledge, skills, data, and resources needed to ensure environmental health at local and global levels. Whether students are heading into careers in governmental public health, research, advocacy, or other sectors, this textbook covers topics that relate to us all: climate change, energy, air, water, food, waste, and much more.


Designed for graduates and advanced undergraduates, this textbook presents the field's basic concepts, related policies, and scientific tools in an accessible way. Readers learn about regulatory science, how environmental health science informs environmental protections, and where gaps remain, particularly in promoting environmental justice. Each chapter examines ways that structural racism and discrimination have shaped environmental health inequities that persist today. Readers can dig deeper to examine how environmental health and justice can be achieved in our communities, workplaces, households, and other built and social environments, as well as our healthcare systems. Drawing on countless historic and contemporary case studies, Environmental Health: Foundations for Public Health facilitates a learning experience that inspires students to reimagine the foundations of environmental health for all.
