Features: In the arrangement of the book's content, the following points are primarily considered:
(1) Systematic content and hierarchical structure: The book not only elaborates on the impact of living and residential environmental factors on health but also introduces health issues caused by occupational harmful factors and food contamination. From a content perspective, the book can be divided into three main parts: basic concepts and theories of environmental medicine, the relationship between various environmental factors and health, and relevant regulations and management methods.
(2) Emphasis on the explanation of basic concepts and theories: In the book, fundamental theories and methods of environmental medicine, such as environmental epidemiology, environmental toxicology, and environmental health risk assessment, are introduced as separate chapters.
(3) Targeted and practical teaching material: To meet the practical needs of management professionals, the book focuses on content related to supervision and management. The selection of appendices also considers this aspect. It is hoped that the book will not only serve as a textbook but also as a useful reference tool.
(4) Facilitating self-study for readers: Each chapter begins with learning objectives and concludes with discussion questions, enabling readers to stay focused on key points during the reading and learning process.
