As I setup this blog, it occurred to me that someone may stumble upon this scribbling and not have a clue what Environmental Health or Environmental Health software is all about. To assist with this, I checked Wikipedia...
Environmental Health comprises those aspects of human health including quality of life that are determined by physical, chemical, biological, social, and psychosocial factors in the natural environment. It also refers to the theory and practice of assessing, correcting, controlling, and preventing those factors in the environment that can potentially affect adversely the health of present and future generations. Nutrition, soil contamination, water pollution, air pollution, safe drinking water, noise pollution, waste control, and public health are integral aspects of environmental health.
...But I thought that Robin Good's description was easier to follow...
Environmental Health describes both the impact of the environment on human health and the impact of human activity on the environment.
There you have it. If this question comes up on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, you'll be prepared.
