Overview
The field of environmental health continues to become more global in response to globalization and changing public health issues. Infectious diseases are not bound by borders and are often related to environmental change. Examples like COVID-19 and Zika emphasize the local and global nature of disease, and climate change with its impact on weather, disease, food, water, vectors and emergency response.
