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.
