Environmental health encompasses the assessment and control of
those environmental factors that can potentially affect human
health, such as radiation, toxic chemicals and other hazardous
agents. It is often assumed that the assessment part is just a
matter of scientific research, and the control part a matter of
implementing standards which unambiguously follow from that
research. But it is less commonly understood that environmental
health also requires addressing questions of an ethical nature. How
can we determine the "acceptable" risk level for the general
population or for certain groups? How should we deal with uneven
distributions of risks and benefits? How do we communicate about
risks with the stakeholders? This multidisciplinary collection
brings together a number of leading researchers and scholars in
order to generate discussion surrounding these key questions, and
to bring the ethical implications of science and technology to the
forefront of critical thought. Providing a broad overview of the
Ethics of Environmental Health, its philosophical foundations and
practical applications, this book offers a significant contribution
to ongoing discussions in sustainable development and will be of
interest to scholars and practitioners of Environmental Health,
urban studies and healthcare.
