3. Largely like the original, this subsequent edition depicts how environmental public health policies are formulated, the regulations and other directives that have evolved to address public health issues related to specific environmental threats, and the fundamental public health principles of these policies. It outlines policies for what is considered the primary environmental physical threats to human health. Significantly, the authors portray dangers from air, water, nourishment, dangerous substances, and disposals. In addition to this, the authors have integrated supplementary considerations from climate change, tobacco products, genetically-modified organisms, environment-linked diseases, power generation, biodiversity and species imperilment, and the built environment. And similar to the original edition, histories of policy formation for specific environmental threats are illustrated. This edition diverges from its predecessor in three critical themes. Global viewpoints are included in sections that delineate specific environmental threats, e.g., air pollution policies in China and India. Furthermore, there is material on the impacts of environmental threats on both human and ecosystem health. Additionally, readers are furnished with information about actions that policymakers and individuals can contemplate to mitigate or prevent specific environmental hazards.
