How is Environmental Engineering Related to Epidemiology?
Epidemiology is the study of how diseases spread and can be controlled within populations. Environmental engineering plays a crucial role in public health by addressing environmental factors that can cause or exacerbate diseases. For instance, inadequate sanitation, poor air quality, and contaminated water supplies can lead to outbreaks of infectious diseases. By mitigating these risks, environmental engineers help reduce the burden of disease in communities.
