Our society has contributed to the establishment and advancement of environmental health policies, such as the enactment of the Environmental Health Act, the formulation of the National Environmental Health Master Plan, and the implementation of the National Environmental Health Biomonitoring Project.
Additionally, we have been dedicated to addressing and preventing environmental health issues in our society, including investigating the humidifier disinfectant disaster and supporting victim relief efforts, introducing the Environmental Risk Management Engineer certification system, and developing educational programs.
Experts from academia, research institutes, civil society, government agencies, and industries come together in our society to engage in discussions, build consensus, and collaborate.

Today, climate crises, emerging environmental diseases, and hazardous environmental factors pose serious threats to sustainability and public health.
Our society is committed to identifying, assessing, and addressing these critical environmental health challenges. Through research and action, we strive to contribute to a sustainable environment and a healthier future for the next generation.
We invite you to join us in building a healthier society together.
