Environmental Health in a Global Environment: A New Model of Learning

Abstract

Rom Willams

Environmental health is a critical field that addresses the complex interactions between human health and the environment. With increasing globalization and interconnectedness, environmental health issues have become global in nature, requiring a new model of learning to effectively address them. This essay explores the concept of environmental health in a global environment and highlights the need for a new model of learning to enhance our understanding and response to environmental challenges. Environmental health focuses on the study and management of environmental factors that can affect human health and well-being. It encompasses a broad range of factors, including air and water quality, chemical exposures, waste management, climate change, and the built environment. These factors can lead to various health risks such as respiratory diseases, cancer, and mental health disorders. Given the transboundary nature of environmental issues, it is crucial to approach environmental health from a global perspective.
