Editorial. East Mediterr Health J. 2019 Mar 19;25(1):3-4 Authors: Abstract This issue of the Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal covers a spectrum of public health research throughout the Region, much of which has direct relevance with the work of the World Health Organization. From industrial environmental health to vector control disease surveillance, the public health issues that currently afflict the Region are not necessarily unique, but certainly highlight areas of research that can have a particular urgency when considering the specific challenges faced by populations throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Chemical accidents have the potential for immense destruction not only through potential loss of life, but also through the degradation of the environment and contamination of air, water and thus agriculture. As low and middle-income countries are keen to industrialize and look to raise their standard of living, so must legal oversight and processes to ensure environmental health considerations are met.
