Decision-making in Environmental Health - From Evidence to Action (Hardcover)

This text examines the need for information in support of decision-making in environmental health. It discusses indicators of environmental health, methods of data collection and the assessment of exposure to and the health impact of different environmental risk factors. It also discusses approaches to linkage analysis of grouped environmental and health data, including statistical and epidemiological and geographical information systems. The book should be a useful source of information for researchers in public health, epidemiology and social science, as well as for environmental health officers, especially those responsible for collecting and analysing environmental health data as part of local or national information systems.
