| Abstract | abstract in sentence case: Environmental and occupational exposure to toxic chemicals remain a major contributor to global burden of diseases. Many health programs are based on risk the management after exposure has occurred, however there is an increasing agreement that preventive strategies should focus on hazard at source. The branch of sustainable chemistry emphasizes safer chemical design and sustainable processes representing an important yet underutilized opportunity to strengthen preventive public health approach. This paper examines how green chemistry can improve occupational and environmental health within sustainable health programs and policymaking. The integration of principles from green chemistry like substitution of hazardous substances, minimization of toxic waste and designing safer chemical processes has the potential to shift paradigms in occupational and environmental health programs from reactive risk management toward strategic approach. This study adopts a qualitative literature review design to examine how green chemistry can improve occupational and environmental health within sustainable health programs and policymaking. Evidence from frameworks in occupational and environmental health will be used in this paper to show how chemical innovation can be applied in program planning, regulatory standard setting and policy decision-making processes. The findings show how embedding green chemistry principles into health programs provides an avenue for reducing workplace exposures that endanger surrounding communities while simultaneously decreasing long-term health care and environmental costs. Green chemistry links chemical sciences with public health and policy by making it possible for preventive evidence-based approaches to improve occupational as well as environmental health outcomes sustainably. This study contributes to both academia and practice by providing an integrated framework for applying green chemistry to improve occupational and environmental health outcomes. |
