We don’t always see it, but our environment is shaping our health every moment of every day. Where we live, what we eat, and how we interact with the world around us can tip the scales (sometimes literally) between healthy or not. That’s where environmental health professionals, policies, and programs all come into play.

While we tend to think about health in terms of personal choices—like whether we exercise or get vaccinated—a lot of external things can influence how healthy we are, including whether we get sick or injured. Environmental stressors and advantages help shape the kinds of choices you make, or in some cases, make the choices for you.

What Is Environmental Health?

Many people often think of environmental health in terms of clean air and water, but natural environmental forces—including things like global warming—are only one piece of a greater puzzle.

Environmental health is the public health field that monitors and addresses those physical, chemical, and biological factors that we might not have direct control over, but can impact our health anyway. For example, if you live in a neighborhood with unsafe sidewalks or polluted air, it’s difficult to get outside and exercise. Similarly, what your home was built with, what insects live nearby, and what food you have access to all can affect your health and the health of your family.

Simply put, environmental health is the area of public health that deals with all the different ways the world around us can impact our physical and mental well-being.

Areas of Environmental Health

Environmental health is one of the largest fields within public health because of the myriad ways external forces can impact how we eat, live, and grow. These forces can be about addressing our natural environment (as in the case for clean water or sanitation), but they can also be the consequence of human beings' actions—including societal norms.

Making healthy choices is important, but it's not enough to counteract poor environmental conditions that affect our health.

Because our environment has a large impact on our health and well-being, an important part of living well is doing our part to take care of the environment. We can work together as proactive communities to foster a safe, happy, and healthy world for years to come.

Intermountain’s Air Quality and Health team created a series of patient handouts to help you know what you should do when air quality is poor. The handouts include instruction for pregnant women, children in early childhood years, people who work outside, and more.

10 Small Things You Can Do For Cleaner Air

Breathing polluted air can seriously affect your health. From watery eyes to coughing to serious respiratory problems, pollution puts a real damper on your health and well-being.

It's much more enjoyable to stay active when you're breathing clean air. Check out these ten simple things you can do to play a part in keeping our air clean and healthy.

At Home

Avoid using chemical pesticides and fertilizers as much as possible. Many of these products emit nitrous oxide, which is a greenhouse gas.

Limit use of gas-powered tools like lawnmowers and leaf blowers—even small engines pollute.

Avoid burning wood unless it’s your only source of heat.

Grilling? Consider using a natural gas or propane grill instead of charcoal or wood.

On the Go

Walk, jog, bike, or use another form of active transportation whenever possible. You’re doing yourself and the environment a favor.

When driving, “chain” your trips together to reduce travel time and emissions—drive to the farthest destination first. Consider carpooling and car-sharing programs for routine commutes.

Don’t idle. If you’re going to be parked longer than you’d be at a stop light, turn off your vehicle.

Get to know your local mass transit system. Using buses, trains, and streetcars is a great way to reduce the number of vehicl
