Environmental Health Interventions and Their Impact on Quality of Life
Introduction: Increasing interest in human well-being has drawn attention to the need for healthy and sustainable environments, culminating in the emerging field of environmental health. Consequently, approaches aimed at enhancing ecological quality have emerged as one of the key strategies to promote better quality of life.Methods: Interventions were extracted and analyzed from a literature review on environmental health and quality of life. Several databases were searched for articles published from 2010 to 2020.Results: The findings suggest that environmental health interventions are associated to marked improvements in the quality of life of different populations. These interventions include improvements in air and water quality, waste management, green space development, and other policies that support sustainable and healthy living environments.Conclusions: This highlights the importance of environmental health efforts in addressing the unique challenges faced by the populations in the study and their communities at large. Nevertheless, more investigation is required to track the long-term implications of these discernments inducing sustainability in social, economic and environmental aspects. Moreover, the role of public health professionals within interdisciplinary teams is emerging as vital to understanding and facilitating this process further in order to ensure the effective implementation and sustainability of these interventions through collaboration with policymakers and communities.
