| Annotation | The role of the environment in disease can be difficult to ascertain because of the enormous potential for interaction between a variety of risk factors. This bulletin focuses on those aspects that are likely to have the greatest impact on health including air quality, housing and environmental tobacco smoke. It also deals with the problem of noise. The Project Team sought evidence to answer the following three questions. Which environmental exposures cause harm to health? What type of adverse health effects may result? Are there effective environmental interventions that have been shown to reduce harm or promote health? The contents of this bulletin are likely to be valid for around one year, by which time significant new research evidence may have become available. (RH). |
