Identifying the healthy places to live in Australia with a new environmental quality health index
We established, to our knowledge, the first tool to quantify and communicate environmental health risks using three types of mortality data and 12 environmental factors. This EQHI provides a robust framework to assess environmental health risks and guide targeted interventions. Our methodology can be adapted globally to standardize risk evaluation.
