Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
According to the Developmental Origin of Disease and Health Hypothesis (Dohad), exposure to pollutants during pregnancy and the first 1000 days of life leads to long-term consequences with sometimes effects on the offspring of the exposed individual. In addition, beyond understanding the health role of the physical, chemical, biological, social, psychosocial and aesthetic factors of our environment, environmental health is also concerned with management policy and practices, reducing, controlling and preventing environmental factors that may affect the health of current and future generations. Thus, working in environmental health is also helping to improve health as the aim of health promotion, which acts on all the determinants through various strategies set out in the Ottawa Charter (1986): development of individual skills, creating supportive environments, strengthening community action, redirecting health services towards prevention, and developing healthy public policies.
This Special Issue places societal issues at the forefront to improve the close relationships between perinatal health, environments and societies. Thus, selected articles may include analytical epidemiology studies but will be privileged, realistic, transdisciplinary research, developing the individual and collective power to act and/or mobilizing mixed or participatory methods.
