Abstract

As global changes in the environment continue to shape communities, the link between changes in the environment and public health has become clearer. The many ways that changes in the environment can affect public health quality measures are looked at in this study. Air quality, water supply, urbanisation, and climate change are given special attention. As cities grow and more factories are built, the environment changes in ways that make health problems like lung diseases, water-borne diseases, and vector-borne diseases worse. Extreme weather events like storms, floods, and heat waves have also grown to be major determinant of public health. This study examines a lot of studies already conducted to ascertain how environmental changes could result in lower health measurements like life expectancy, mortality rates, and chronic illness prevalence. Furthermore emphasised in the study is the need of knowing how interdependent socioeconomic determinants of health are with external elements as these elements may make vulnerable populations even more vulnerable. The study reveals how environmentally friendly behaviour, modern technology, and government regulations could assist to mitigate the negative health consequences of environmental changes. It also looks at how environmental health tracking systems and predictive analytics can help shape public health policies and make sure that the right steps are taken at the right time. The study shows how careful environmental management and health policy can make public health systems more resilient by looking at global case studies and past data. The results show that to successfully deal with the problems caused by changes in the environment, we need to use interdisciplinary methods that take into account things like hospital infrastructure, environmental sustainability, and community resilience. To sum up, this study makes a strong case for making environmental health a central part of public health policy in order to improve people's quality of life, lower the number of diseases, and achieve long-lasting public health results in the face of ongoing environmental problems.
