On the starting point of 21 century, the international environmental issues were changed from
media-oriented approach to receptor-oriented approach. This trend was affected to our nation, the
ministry of Korea was proclaimed the 10-years environmental health complex plan (2005) and Law of
environmental health acts (2008). The basic concept of environmental health was popularly based on
DPSEEA moede, which was proposed on 1993. The model was composed of Driving force (D),
Pressure (P), State (S), Exposure (E), Effects (E), and Action (A) which was applied to each other
part. Environment health education could be effectively performed using the indicators within each
component of DPSEEA model. Climate change and exposure of hazardous materials could be applied
for education using the framework of DPSEEA model, which was guessed to be a good tool for
environmental health education.
