Innovation in Environmental Protection and Public Health: Social, Economic and Ecological Approaches

Dear Colleagues,

We are organizing a Special Issue regarding the impact of innovation on the environment and public health in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes articles and communications in the interdisciplinary field of environmental and public health sciences. For more information about the journal, please refer to http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph.

Innovation is pervasive in all industries and throughout society. Innovative actions can affect public health and have the potential to reduce environmental pollution, energy, water, and fuel use. Such activities are overwhelmingly consistent with the philosophy of sustainable development and can be considered from social, economic, and environmental perspectives.

Research conducted in both urban and rural areas in developing and developed countries can provide valuable insights into environmental protection and public health in the context of innovation.  

This Special Issue is open to all topic areas related to the environmental and public health impacts of innovation. The keywords listed suggest only a few of the many possibilities.
