Summary/Abstract: When it comes to public health, the issue of environmental health is worth clarifying and analysingmore extensively, which may be of interest to lawyers. At the same time, in respect ofpublic law, which may be of interest to the representatives of fields of sciences other than law,it is necessary to define terms in the sphere of legal protection of environmental elements. Suchan analysis will lead us indisputably to the idea of health environmental law, which createslegal instruments for the implementation of environmental health demands. The text’s first partintroduces the concept and evolution of public health as well as the idea of new public healththat emerges from it. The second part focuses on indicating the place in public health which isoccupied by the environmental strands that form the concept of environmental health and onpresenting its characteristics. The third and final part presents the conception of health environmentallaw as a research area at the borderline between environmental law, as definedin this part, and environmental health, as defined earlier. The whole ends with conclusionsde lege lata and postulates de lege ferenda. The work is based on national and foreign literatureon public health, environmental law and environmental management. Legal status current asof 30 April 2023.
