Tomasz Bojar-Fijałkowski Logo ORCID

Abstract

When it comes to public health, the issue of environmental health is worth clarifying and analysing more extensively, which may be of interest to lawyers. At the same time, in respect of public law, which may be of interest to the representatives of fields of sciences other than law, it is necessary to define terms in the sphere of legal protection of environmental elements. Such an analysis will lead us indisputably to the idea of health environmental law, which createslegal instruments for the implementation of environm ental health demands. The text’s first part introduces the concept and evolution of public health as well as the idea of new public health that emerges from it. The second part focuses on indicating the place in public health which is
occupied by the environmental strands that form the concept of environmental health and on presenting its characteristics. The third and final part presents the conception of health environmental law as a research area at the borderline between environmental law, as defined in this part, and environmental health, as defined earlier. The whole ends with conclusionsde lege lata and postulates de  lege ferenda. The work is based on national and foreign literature on public health, environmental law and environmental management. Legal status current as of 30 April 2023.
