Tiffany’s Answer

The primary difference is that an Environmental Epidemiologist deals with diseases that are caused by enviornmental factors. For example, typical epidemiologists research diseases in general (flu outbreaks, covid 19, etc.), while environmental epidemiologists study things such as cancer clusters in a specific geographic area that are likely caused by something in their environment. Good luck in your career path!
