Environmental Epidemiology is an academic journal dedicated to the study of environmental epidemiology, exploring the relationship between human health risks and environmental hazards. The research content of this journal is mainly based on public health monitoring, relying on the analysis of data from small and sparse population groups, with a focus on identifying very subtle human health impacts or early evidence. Environmental epidemiology plays an important role in public education and risk communication, especially with the development of effective biomarkers for monitoring exposure and precursor health effects, which will greatly advance the discipline.

The research method of the journal has established a statistical monitoring mechanism to monitor the population level disease rate of high-risk populations for early risk identification and sentinel event identification. The advancement of geographic methods, especially the advantages of spatial research, has brought new opportunities for environmental epidemiology. Although these advances still need further refinement and experimentation within the discipline, they are crucial for understanding environmental epidemiological considerations such as industrial expansion, hazardous waste management, and pollution remediation. The goal of the journal is to provide a platform for researchers to share their research on how environmental factors affect human health and well-being. This journal is suitable as a textbook for introductory courses in environmental epidemiology, suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in public health, as well as on-site public health workers. The characteristics of a journal include chapter topics covering the basic concepts, research methods, and application areas of environmental epidemiology, clear presentation of learning objectives, and summarization and clarification of important concepts and information through tables and graphics.
