Public, Environmental and Occupational Health (PEH)

Section Information

Public, Environmental and Occupational Health focuses on the health of populations, the influence of environmental and workplace factors on wellbeing, and strategies designed to prevent disease and promote health. It examines physical, social, environmental, and occupational determinants that shape individual and community health outcomes.

Modern research in this field includes epidemiology, environmental exposures, workplace hazards, health promotion, policy development, risk assessment, and preventive interventions. Advances in analytics, environmental monitoring, occupational safety, and global health initiatives continue to improve public health practice and disease prevention.

This section publishes research articles, epidemiological studies, reviews, and case reports addressing population health trends, environmental risks, workplace safety, health systems, preventive strategies, and emerging public health challenges.
