Week 10 Discussion 2 (Environment vs Human Health) - GROUP 9
You just read, "The Rights of Nature and the Future of Public Health" Chilton & Jones 2020 (assigned reading #1). Boom! You have the epiphany that everything is connected, literally, and your interests in environment and human health are actually one and the same. You share this realization with a friend, and they are not buying it.
Give 2 evidence-based examples that illustrate how environmental health DIRECTLY impacts human health.
Hint: you can find MANY examples within the articles cited in the Chilton & Jones 2020 article.
