Big idea: We come at healthy homes from an environmental health perspective. Environmental health is proactive.
Talking points:
- The WHO says that Environmental Health really has two components:
- Preventing disease
- Creating health-supportive environments (natural or built)
- We KNOW that home hazards can cause disease.
