The impact of the environment on human health is of growing concern to the public, politicians and public health practitioners.

It allows real effects to be distinguished from chance associations.

The book examines: Air pollution; Clusters of cases of ill-health; Radiation and hazardous waste; Water and health; and Climate change.
