  • 산업 발달은 인간에게 편리함과 풍요로움을 가져다준 반면, 환경문제를 일으킨 지 오래, 이제는 생명을 위협하는 심각한 위험 요인을 곳곳에 뿌려놓고 있다. 이러한 환경 속에서 인간이 환경과 조화를 이루며 건강한 삶을 유지할 수 있도록 환경 유해 요인을 분석하고, 전문적 지식을 갖춘 인재 양성을 위한 분야가 절실히 요구되고 있다. 한국방송통신대학교 환경보건학과는 이런 사회적 상황에 부응하는 학과로 최근 발생하는 환경보건 문제를 주시하며 꾸준한 연구와 교육을 진행하고 있다.

  • 환경보건정책의 영역은 대기, 수질 등 환경매체에 배출된 오염물질이 수용체인 인간에 도달하여 건강피해를 야기하는 일련의 과정을 규명하여 예방 관리하는 폭넓은 범위를 차지하고 있다. 환경보건정책은 다른 매체별 환경정책에 비해 뒤늦게 출발하였지만 깨끗하고 안전한 환경을 보전하여 국민의 건강을 보호하기 위해서는 앞으로도 환경보건정책에 대한 지속적인 관심과 투자가 필요하다.

  • It has been widely accepted that the environment is an important determining factor of human health. Appreciating the relationship between the environment and human health, Korean government has begun to deal with issues of environmental health. The government proclaimed the year of 2006 to be the first year of Environmental Health and established "The Environmental Health Plan for the next 10 Year". In order to achieve the goals in the plan, there are necessary considerations such as support systems for environment health related research, investigation, law, institution, administration, and so forth. This study suggests basic principles required to establish a legal regime of environmental health which is to implement the environmental health policies in Korea. Several cases of foreign legislation and policy relevant to environmental health are reviewed. Also, existing related legal system in Korea are analysed considering legal and institutional elements for establishing an effective environmental health policy. The main purpose of amending legal system related environmental health is to protect both public health and the soundness of ecosystem. To reach the goals effectively, the concept of 'environmental health' should be clearly established and presented. In addition, an advanced prevention system, including investigation and prevention of the cause of environmental diseases and risk assessment based on the precautionary principle, are substantial in the environmental health legislation. Also the environmental health law should guarantee public participation in decision making as well as the first consideration of susceptible or vulnerable population. This study concludes that the expected legislation related to environmental health should be a nonnative instrument not only for integrating each environmental protection scheme but also for establishing and implementing the policy.

  • Recently, passengers using public transport are concerned about the effects of COVID-19 and fine dust. Therefore, from February 2020 to February 2021, we investigated whether SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected even after disinfection in 55 public transportation places visited by confirmed patients in Seoul. 34 air samples and 702 object surface samples were collected and tested with RT-PCR, one surface sample was positive. In addition, preemptive investigations were conducted in 22 subway trains that passengers were being on board at that time. 1,018 preemptive tests were performed, and all were negative. Although PM-2.5 is dangerous in itself, it can be a potential carrier of viruses. It seemed that a solution was needed as one line continuously exceeded the criteria of PM-2.5. Through this study, it is judged that cluster infection in public transportation can be prevented if efforts to reduce the concentration of fine dust, appropriate disinfection management, and personal disinfection such as wearing a mask in public transportations.
