The role played by
economics in the planning and consideration of environmental health is worthy
of note especially in the management and handling the burden of diseases which
are the major factors to consider in any discussion concerning environmental
health. In order to ensure that the people in a given environment maintain
standard environmental health status, there should be a complete blend between
economics and environmental health strategies by reducing exposure to harmful
substances in a manner that economy is not adversely affected. The effective
analysis and handling of the economics of the management of environment health provides
a strong basis for designing policies in many sectors that promote health.

Economic
costs and benefits of such policies (including the costs of inaction) provide
additional compelling arguments for investing in disease prevention and are
thus of high political importance for policy- and decision-makers this is due
to the fact that is the management of diseases are to be sustainable must be
critically analysed and ascertain that the measured applied are economically
viable. The careful ad critical analysis of economic data especially in considerations
of the economic dimension are a very important factor of environmental health
policies especially during times of economic downturn. As a result of
this, it is important to strengthen the case for policies that considers
environmental impact in environmental health and also show strong economic
evidence to identify the most effective policies for environment and health

In
effective planning of environmental health strategies, economics and cannot be
ignored as it is the engine that drives it actualization. The economic method
applied in tackling environmental health issues is very necessary; this helps
in transferring economic methods into economic value or to compare the
performance of alternative policies in areas such as climate change, outdoor
air pollution, transport, water and sanitation.
