The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the places we live, work and play all have major impacts on our health and well-being. Health scares such as swine/bird flu, obesity, cancers and asthma have all been connected to our environmental conditions. A Bachelor of Natural Science (Environment and Health) will equip students to explore the diverse range of natural and built-environment challenges that confront us, from the mitigation of human health impacts of global climate change through to the more localised issues of air and water quality, waste management, food security, environmental noise and healthy communities.
