Environmental health goes beyond monitoring and managing the physical environment. It spans areas of public health issues, such as noise and visual pollution, waste disposal and pest control and is a major, yet often subtle influence on the health and wellbeing of a community.
Living in a rundown, neglected and unhealthy physical environment, can impact directly on individual and community health. Other factors relating to the physical environment, such as access to community facilities, public transport and employment, also shape the quality of life.
In this film, environmental health workers with Brent Council in London Jennifer Barrett and Clive Dinsey, together with social worker Ben Hoskins and Julia Twigg from the University of Kent, offer insightful reflections on a range of environmental health areas, including air and water quality, noise pollution, access to employment and safe neighbourhoods.
