One Health
Summary
This book provides a multidisciplinary introduction to the One Health framework, exploring the interconnections between human, animal, and environmental health and how integrated approaches to surveillance, policy, and research can address shared health challenges.
One Health A balanced and multidisciplinary exploration of the One Health concept In One Health: Human, Animal, and Environment Triad, a team of distinguished researchers introduces and explains the concept of One Health by providing an overview of the One Health idea from the perspective of diverse disciplines, from earth and environmental science to ecology and conservation to veterinary and human medicine. The authors also present case studies demonstrating the real-world challenges and opportunities of this interdisciplinary approach to sustainable human well-being. Readers will find insightful discussions of the interactions between chemical pollutants and water, soil, and the atmosphere, as well as detailed examinations of sustainable food supply, waste management, and pathogen control, backed up by extensive reference data. One Health: Human, Animal, and Environment Triad also includes: The emergence and re-emergence of zoonoses and other infectious diseases The behavior of microplastics in soil and water Organic farming and its influence on soil health The role of light for human well-being Perfect for researchers interested in global health, ecological health, medical geology, toxicology, epidemiology, and zoonotic diseases, One Health: Human, Animal, and Environment Triad will also benefit professionals with an interest in public health and other public services, resource conservation, waste management, and the circular economy.

The One Health Concept: 10 Years Old and a Long Road Ahead
This paper reviews the progress and challenges of the One Health concept, which recognizes that human, animal, and environmental health are deeply interconnected. Researchers discuss how emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental pollution including chemical contaminants all require a cross-disciplinary approach. The study emphasizes that addressing modern health threats requires integrating ecological and environmental sciences alongside traditional medicine and veterinary practices.
One Health
This editorial introduces a journal issue focused on the One Health framework, which recognizes the interconnection between human, animal, and ecosystem health, and highlights how environmental pollutants including microplastics are increasingly central to One Health concerns.
Environmental pollution and One Health: An integrated threat to global health
This review examines environmental pollution through the One Health framework, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Researchers found that pollutants including heavy metals, microplastics, and chemical contaminants circulate continuously between ecosystems, animals, and human populations, creating cascading health effects. The study calls for integrated, cross-disciplinary approaches to address pollution as a shared threat across all domains of health.
Environmental pollution and One Health: An integrated threat to global health
This review examines environmental pollution through the One Health lens, exploring how chemical contaminants, biological agents, and physical pollutants move between ecosystems, animals, and human populations. Researchers highlight that pollutants such as heavy metals, microplastics, and persistent organic compounds accumulate through food chains and disrupt biological systems across species. The study emphasizes that addressing pollution effectively requires coordinated approaches spanning human medicine, veterinary science, and environmental management.
A One Health Approach to Marine Health
This paper applies the One Health framework — which integrates human, animal, and environmental health — to the challenge of protecting marine ecosystems from climate change, plastic pollution, and overfishing. The authors argue that addressing ocean health requires interdisciplinary collaboration between public health, environmental science, and policy sectors.
