Providing a concise introduction to the field of occupational and environmental medicine, this book delves into what it does, how it protects workers, how it benefits employers, and how it is developing as an important field in health protection.
This book shines a light on an important but little-appreciated corner of medicine where health, technology, the environment, and the economy come together to have a real impact on people and society. The text serves as one of the few entry points into the world of occupational and environmental health protection for readers interested in learning more about it and what it can do for them.
Readers will be introduced to such topics as the history of occupational and environmental medicine (OEM), schools of thought associated with OEM, the relationship of OEM to neighboring fields of study, and profiles of OEM practitioners. This guide emphasizes the rich potential for environmental medicine to contribute to sustainability, public health, and community health protection, making it an essential resource for anyone interested or involved in these sectors.
