Meanwhile, Khalaf explained some types of environment-related diseases, including respiratory, heart, and kidney diseases, which often result from industrial pollution and mismanagement of natural resources, making environmental prevention a vital priority.
In the same context, brochures prepared by one of the students were distributed, covering health geography and environmental factors affecting health, along with analytical tools, realistic examples, as well as proposed policies and solutions.
