Only a matter of time before #environmentalhealth departments are added to the list of #woke bodies to be attacked in the latest #conservative culture war!

Is it the way #EnvironmentalHealth, #GlobalHealth and #OneHealth are dealing with any disease progressing in the population? Of course, it is.
The issue is that agencies like the #WHO promoting it are not using it in their own approach. They let the others do.

It's great to see UN Climate Change addressing the impact of climate change on mental health. The indirect effects are often overlooked.

Including more green infrastructure in our urban environments provides co-benefits for mental and physical health and environmental health.

I'm excited to share our new publication – The relations between mental health and psychological wellbeing and living with environmental contamination: A systematic review and conceptual framework.

This research was led by our PhD student Rupert Legg.

We reviewed articles that looked at how the experience of living with environmental contamination affects residents' mental health and wellbeing.

Most articles found evidence of mental health and wellbeing being negatively affected by the experience of living with contamination.

Several environmental, regulatory, social and psychological factors affected residents mental health and wellbeing.

These affects were different depending on time (e.g. length of exposure to contamination management) and space (e.g. how close residents lived to contaminated sites).

From our findings we developed a framework showing how the different aspects of environmental contamination link to mental health.

We're hoping these findings will inform how environmental contamination is managed to protect mental health and wellbeing.

The article is freely available to download until 4 May 2023 from here https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1glT9zzKDIKLh
