Korean Society of Environmental Health
Our society is the oldest academic organization in the field of environmental health in Korea.
We serve as a platform for exchange and collaboration among experts from diverse disciplines, including natural sciences, medical and health sciences, and engineering, all striving for a healthier environment.
Moreover, we take pride in being a vibrant and youthful society, where undergraduate and graduate students actively engage as the next generation of scholars.
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.
We take pride in our academic tradition and social contributions, which uphold the values of public health, safety, and sustainability.
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.
The Korean Society of Environmental Health(KSEH) was founded in May 1971 with the purpose of improving human welfare through environmental health, and more than 1,000 professional members(universities, research institutes, industries, etc.) are playing a pivotal role in the respective area.
