Environmental Health: From Global to Local, 3rd Edition, is an academic textbook that examines how environmental factors affect human health across multiple scales. The volume links scientific evidence to public health practice, evaluating exposures encountered in residential, community, and workplace environments.
The textbook addresses foundational scientific methods, community systems, and health policy. In addition to traditional environmental concerns, it integrates topics such as ecological sustainability, built environments, and the specific needs of vulnerable populations, alongside an analysis of climate change.
The work emphasizes the application of research to environmental public health practice, risk assessment, and communication strategies. An online Instructor Companion Site provides dedicated instructional support for educators.
