English translation: for the areas including health, environment and finance

German to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Marketing / Market Research
German term or phrase: Bereich
Context:

Genauere Erkenntnisse sind unter anderem für den Gesundheits-, Umwelt- und Finanzbereich von großem Interesse

My problem here is that I don't thing Bereich would be thae same in all 3 instances. I'd tend towards saying "...many areas including healthcare, environmental politics and finance" although I'm very unsure about what exactly the "Umweltbereich" would be.

English translation:for the areas including health, environment and finance
Explanation:
I think you can use 'area' to indicate Bereich and then just translate the other three terms

Many thanks! Obviously, a glossary entry wouldn't make much sense as this was so context-specific.

environmental science


Explanation:
Not sure what the exact context/sentence is, but perhaps "environmental science" or simply "environment" might be better?
