Abstract: When developing regulations that shield individuals from environmental hazards and enhance their general health, one should consider how public health legislation and environmental quality interact. Urbanisation, industry, and climate change have quickly transformed the earth; thus, the external factors affecting health have become clearer. Under the impact of natural health factors, the evolution of public health recommendations is investigated in this paper. It mostly covers air quality, water pollution, waste management, and chemical exposure harmful ones especially. These natural components are so complicated, therefore we have to use another approach to control public health and promote simultaneous economic growth. This paper addresses how knowledge of natural pollutants affects human health and how scientific results guide public health strategies. It addresses important regulations on the purity of air and water, waste disposal policies, and occupational health and safety standards as well as laws on Furthermore underlined are the challenges in putting these policies into effect: competing business interests, inadequate ways of verifying they are followed, and inadequate popular knowledge. It also addresses the role international organisations do in guiding environmental health policies and supporting nations in developing their own agendas. This emphasises the need of everyone cooperating to address worldwide environmental health issues. This study presents the advantages and drawbacks of present public health policies aimed to reduce environmental hazards by means of an examination of case studies from several spheres. It offers strategies to align environmental health research and policy development, enhance government collaboration, and increase participation in environmental health initiatives by means of alignment between governments. Strong environmental health data and comprehensive public health legislation are therefore concluded as necessary to get long-term public health outcomes in the face of environmental challenges.
