Can Environmental Health Play a Key Role in Prevention of Infectious Diseases?

Abstract

The warming of the climate and the increase in animal sources of infection due to changes in the natural environment, and the deterioration of air quality and unclean using water due to pollution are important environmental health factors that can influence the prevention of infectious diseases. In addition, excessive urbanisation development and over-production of food due to the global population explosion will also pose a significant challenge in terms of prevention measures for emerging infectious diseases. In conclusion, environmental health plays an important role in the prevention of infectious diseases and a multidisciplinary approach is an appropriate way to prevent infectious diseases.
