About this subject
Continue to build industry-relevant skills by examining the impact environmental factors have on the health and safety of local and global communities. Topics include the elements that comprise an environment; the causal links between chemical, physical and biological hazards and their impact on health; and the factors that influence environmentally compromised health outcomes. You will explore current solutions and develop new ways to address environmental threats, such as waste management, water pollution, air pollution and global warming. The influence of globalisation and foreign relations on the social, economic and political determinants of health will also be discussed. Lastly, there will be a focus on environmental disaster prevention, management and recovery, and the health impacts of climate change that you, as public health practitioners of the future, will have to take into consideration.
