Introduction

Environmental health is the study of identifying harmful factors in the surrounding living and industrial environments centering on humans. It measures, analyzes, evaluates, and manages those factors to minimize the impact of the environment on human health for living in harmony with the surrounding environment in a healthy way. It teaches students professional knowledge and skills related to the environment and health and helps them develop environmental management and research capabilities so that our students can become creative leaders in environmental health fields. The Department of Environmental Health, established in 1988, has focused on education in areas related to environmental health, basic science, and basic medicine to achieve its educational goals. In addition, for more realistic education, the department offers field training opportunities in various industries and research institutes. In addition, the school helped develop and produce middle and high school environmental teachers by requiring students to complete teaching courses.
