Our time, the global challenges and trends are embedded and intertwined with the social, environmental, and economic determinants of health. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic might be an example to recognize those connections. Public Health and the Environment aimed to guide the reader through an in-depth analysis to uncover fundamental social, ecological, and economic factors and its impacts on population health. This scholarly book consists of 7 chapters based on a systemic review of primary and secondary research data. The book provides multiple examples and statistics from case studies, references, and tools that reveal the influence of those interactions on people's health and well-being. It also has a complete list of all cited references per chapter.Special attention is given to the ecological and health effects of pollution, the role of science, and education in environmental public health, including workforce development. It also highlights the need for addressing public and health literacy while providing a comprehensive perspective on environmental sustainability. The reader will find multiple examples and statistics to conclude that the advancement of a post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) must be accountable in full recognition of the economic sector's linkages and interdependence with other major systems: social, environmental, and health. The book also discusses environmental public health in the context of cities and the urban environment.It might be useful to a diverse community of professionals, scientists, students, among others, who have an interest in the environmental interactions that affect the quality of life, years of healthy life lived, and health inequalities.

"This book aims to be comprehensive of the key connections between environment and public health by addressing the core curriculum of multi-disciplinary areas --as urban design, energy, housing, and economy-- as well as in the health system itself. It emphasizes the social factors that have brought the global environment to its current state including climate change, growing diseases incidence, demographic displacements, and increases in urban population. It also includes relevant tools and indicators that can help the reader understand the impact of individual and collective actions: hoping to encourage pro-active behavior that would lead to near-by solutions"
