See all 38 subjects Volunteers reviewing household survey forms beside a water drum in a settlement Public Health and sustainability Why public health matters for sustainability Many environmental problems are also health problems. Uncollected waste and standing water give mosquitoes places to breed, and those mosquitoes spread dengue and malaria. Polluted air harms lungs and hearts, and unsafe water causes diarrhoeal disease, which hits young children hardest. Public health turns these links into evidence that a city can act on, by measuring who is affected and where. Earth5R works in 150+ Indian cities. Its teams run door-to-door household surveys and waste audits, and the Earth5R app records them as photographed, geo-tagged data. One of its flagship research projects is a New York University researcher’s study of how data centres deepen water shortages in Maharashtra, and the burden this puts on women who fetch water. As a fellow you ask health questions of this kind of field data. This work links to the UN Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 3, Good health and well-being and Goal 6, Clean water and sanitation . Available projects in the public health internship fellowship You join Earth5R’s live work through your own subject. Your mentor shapes the final project with you. Air pollution and daily exposure Combine public air quality data for your city with a survey of how people cook, travel and work, and estimate which groups face the most exposure to polluted air. Health risks for waste workers Visit an informal recycling unit, observe how waste is sorted, and study the health risks workers face from cuts, dust and heat, along with simple ways to reduce them.
