Introduction
Generally when we think of the word “environment” we picture things such as air, land, and water. Public health addresses these types of physical environmental issues, but also focuses on different types of environments as well. One of those environments is called the ‘built environment (Links to an external site.)‘. The built environment and the physical environment collectively can impact health either positively or negatively.
