Environmental Epidemiology and Risk Assessment Tim Aldrich and Jack
Griffith Environmental Epidemiology and Risk Assessment addresses
the historical development of environmental epidemiology, touching
on recent sensationalized environmental tragedies such as Love
Canal and Chernobyl. Understanding the importance that public
opinion plays in the success or failure of any important regulatory
decision involving human studies, the authors elaborate the issue
of communicating scientific findings to the public. The authors
have employed the material in this book while teaching graduate
courses in epidemiology and in the application of field studies for
environmentally related risk assessment. Environmental Epidemiology
and Risk Assessment is convenient for students to use in
independent study, while instructors can use it as a reference and
background source for classroom lectures. Each chapter contains a
list of specific learning objectives, a detailed narrative
including illustrations and case histories, and instructive
assignments. The authors have also provided a list of recommended
reading which complements the extensive bibliography and selected
glossaries. This comprehensive text provides state-of-the-art
instruction in the methodologic considerations with the design and
conduct of environmental epidemiologic studies. The authors discuss
disease mechanisms, the study of disease clusters, and surveillance
techniques as these topics relate to environmental epidemiology.
Environmental Epidemiology and Risk Assessment is a compilation of
over thirty years of practical experience, university and public
agency instruction, federal agency experiences, and community
investigations, bringing together disparate scientific disciplines
and offering the most comprehensive compendium of information to be
found on the subject. Although this book serves as a reference text
for trained epidemiologists, it places considerably more emphasis
than is commonly found in epidemiologic texts on exposure
monitoring, the use of biomarkers in epidemiologic studies,
laboratory practices for environmental sampling, risk assessment,
risk management, and environmental law. This "how to" book is an
invaluable source for public health professionals with limited
didactic training in epidemiology, but with interests and
professional responsibilities that require a working understanding
of the discipline.
