 'Environmental health ' comprises those aspects of human health, including quality of life, that are determined by physical, chemical, biological, social, and psychosocial factors in the natural environment. It also refers to the theory and practice of assessing, correcting, controlling, and preventing those factors in the environment that can potentially affect adversely the health of present and future generations http://www.who.int/phe/en/. Environmental health as used by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, includes both the direct pathological effects of chemicals, radiation and some biological agents, and the effects (often indirect) on health and wellness of the broad body, psychological, social and aesthetic environment which includes housing, urban development, land use and transport. http://www.who.dk/eprise/main/WHO/Progs/HEP/20030612_1 Nutrition,soil contamination, water pollution, air pollution,light pollution, waste control and public health are integral aspects of environmental health. When measuring well-being, these become economics and politics concerns. Increasingly Wellness (alternative medicine) concerns are affecting fiscal policy and prompting some advocates to call for monetary reform (to end systematic pollution credit, governments actually paying to create human health harms).

Environmental health services

 'Environmental health services ' are defined by the World Health Organization as: : those services which implement environmental health policies through monitoring and control activities. They also carry out that role by promoting the improvement of environmental parameters and by encouraging the use of environmentally friendly and healthy technologies and behaviours. They also have a leading role in developing and suggesting new policy areas.  The Environmental Health profession had its modern-day roots in the sanitary and public health movement of the United Kingdom. This was epitomised by Edwin Chadwick who was instrumental in the repeal of the poor laws and was the founding president of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health.
