Environmental Policy and Public Health

As with the first edition, this second edition describes how environmental health policies are developed, the statutes and other policies that have evolved to address public health concerns associated with specific environmental hazards, and the public health foundations of the policies. It lays out policies for what is considered the major environmental physical hazards to human health. Specifically, the authors describe hazards from air, water, food, hazardous substances, and wastes. To this list the authors have added the additional concerns from climate change, tobacco products, genetically-modified organisms, environment-related diseases, energy production, biodiversity and species endangerment, and the built environment. And as with the first edition, histories of policymaking for specific environmental hazards are portrayed. This edition differs from its antecedent in three significant themes. Global perspectives are added to chapters that describe specific environmental hazards, e.g., air pollution policies in China and India. Also there is the material on the consequences of environmental hazards on both human and ecosystem health. Additionally readers are provided with information about interventions that policymakers and individuals can consider in mitigating or preventing specific environmental hazards.

With the upsurge of interest worldwide on the effects of occupational exposure to neurotoxic chemicals, it becomes apparent that neurotoxic illness occurs across a broad spectrum of large and small industries and is associated with both acute and chronic toxic effects, some irreversible. Neurotoxic illness is preventable and there is an urgent need to facilitate transfer of existing information in order to increase awareness amongst health officials, employers and workers and develop effective prevention strategies. Leading international authorities have responded to this need and present here their critical evaluation of research findings from a wide range of clinical reports, epidemiological investigations and experimental studies. To encourage effective prevention strategies they provide a concensus of recommended methods presenting the role of epidemiological and biostatistical methods, an outline of neurological symptoms and signs together with diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. To complete this state-of-the-art volume, critical issues are addressed such as the role of legislation, hygiene standards, engineering controls and materials substitution. By combining the adoption of these broader strategies with the use of valid epidemiological methods and reliable monitoring and surveillance procedures, we can achieve important goals in preventing neurotoxic illness in working populations.

Impacts Of Hazardous Waste On Human Health: Hazard, Health Effects, Equity, and Communication Issues

Politics & Social Sciences

Politics & Government

Advances in environmental protection and public health result from democratic processes that debate environmental health concerns and propose legislative and other policy solutions. Delineating the delicate relationship between environmental policy and public health, Environmental Policy and Public Health explores the development of environmental health policies, the statutes that address public health concerns about specific environmental hazards, and policy issues that impact environmental health programs. Covering the fundamentals of environmental policy, this concise guide identifies the steps in environmental policy making, the federal government's environmental health structure, and the general environmental status. It focuses on environmental hazards, including air contamination, water pollution, unsafe food, pesticides and toxic substances, and hazardous waste that have been associated with degraded human health. The book provides a unique description of international environmental health organizations and programs and describes how risk assessment has become an integral policy in environmental health legislation. Presenting a historical perspective of how environmental health has evolved, Environmental Policy and Public Health is the first book to bridge human health concerns and environmental protection. The book relates the relationship between controlling environmental hazards and the impact on human health and public health practice. It outlines how environmental justice has evolved and has been integrated into government environmental policies.

Environmental Policy and Public Health: Two Volume Set

Product Description Written by environmental health experts with long teaching and professional careers in policy and public health, the third edition of “Environmental Policy and Public Health” comprises two volumes, addressing key physical hazards in the environment that impact public health. The first volume on “Principal Health Hazards and Mitigation” is complemented by Volume 2, “Emerging Health Hazards and Mitigation.”Thoroughly updated, the first volume describes how the quality of air, water, and food are threatened by the presence of toxic substances and explains why climate change is a global health priority already impacting human health and the environment. Each chapter explains step by step how new environmental health issues are translated into public health policies and concludes with practice questions to facilitate interactive learning for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in public health and environmental sciences.The second volume discusses emerging health hazards and mitigation including environment- related infectious diseases, COVID 19 pandemic, social justice, and drugs and public health. New in this volume are a chapter on firearms violence as a public health hazard, a chapter on transportation and how built environments can affect human health and social well-being, and concludes with a chapter on noise and light pollution. The volume concludes with case studies and practice questions to facilitate interactive learning for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in public health and environmental sciences.
