Sommario/riassunto

The impact of environment on human health is of growing concern to public, politicians and public health practitioners. Epidemiology offers a way of investigating and measuring potential hazards. This book describes methods available for public health practitioners to enable investigations to be carried out and how findings should be interpreted.
