Actionable Science in Environmental Health

This chapter explores the relationship between environment and human diseases with data science within the framework of actionable science. It will discuss the current advanced data research and analyze the intricate relationship between human health and the environment. It highlights the detrimental health impacts of air pollution, such as respiratory conditions, and waterborne diseases resulting from inadequate water treatment and sanitation. The chapter will emphasize the need for practical actions to address these issues and bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and implementation using the data visualization techniques such as dashboards. Key challenges, including awareness gaps, resource constraints, complex interactions, and sociopolitical factors, will be discussed as barriers to transforming scientific understanding into actionable measures. By addressing these challenges, it is possible to promote a healthier environment and safeguard human well-being.
