Experts specializing in environmental health examine how our environment affects human wellbeing. They analyze how environmental hazards can lead to illnesses such as cancer, asthma, and foodborne illnesses. Comprising roughly 50% of public health workers, environmental health professionals also represent about half of public health spending. Aspiring students in this field often come from backgrounds in biological or physical sciences, engineering, healthcare fields, or veterinary medicine. Proficiency in chemistry, biology, statistics, and Microsoft Excel is advantageous. Graduates with an MPH in environmental health pursue rewarding careers in government health agencies, environmental protection organizations, research firms, academic institutions, and private industries.
