Burden of Disease from Produce and Seafood Contamination.- 12: Applying Environmental Burden of Disease Predictions.This publication characterizes the environmental burden of disease in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), measured by the excess number of deaths and illnesses in the population due to exposure to environmental hazards. The robust methods used in this risk analysis can be applied to any country or region. This publication documents the systematic, multi-step process used to identify environmental priorities and the detailed methods used to quantify the disease burden attributable to each risk. Based on the results of the burden of disease assessment, the publication summarizes the subsequent steps that are recommended to further reduce the burden of disease resulting from various environmental risk factors.Environmental Science and Technology Library,1382-3124Environmental healthUnited Arab EmiratesCase studiesPublic healthUnited Arab EmiratesCase studiesEnvironmental healthPublic health613/.1MacDonald Gibson Jacqueline1424783MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910741169703321Environmental Burden of Disease Assessment3554311UNINA
