Environmental determinants of human health
Environmental determinants of human health[electronic resource] /edited by Jozef M. Pacyna, Elisabeth G. Pacyna. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - xiv, 270 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Molecular and integrative toxicology,2168-4219. - Molecular and integrative toxicology..

Sources and Fluxes of harmful metals -- Exposure to environmental hazards and effects on chronic disease -- Human exposure to pollutants and their health endpoints. The Arctic perspective -- Effects of pollutant exposure on human health as studied with selected EU projects -- Organic metal species as risk factor for neurological diseases -- Integrated Assessment of Policies for Reducing Health Impacts Caused by Air Pollution -- Monetary and non-monetary measures of health benefits from exposure reduction -- Capturing the health effects of environmental and industrial policy in a macroeconomic model -- Transition to a Low Carbon Economy; Impacts to Health and the Environment -- Unmasking environmental health Zorros: the need for involvement of real risk communication experts for two-way and problem-solving communication approaches -- Citizen participation approaches in environmental health -- Environment and Health Research Funded by the European Union (EU) Research Framework Programmes: Increasing Scientific Knowledge and Building a Solid Evidence-Base for Policy Making.

Polluted air and contaminated food and water are major causes of human health deterioration, but public health policy has long struggled to effectively address these concerns. This timely book--written for a wide audience of policy makers, researchers, and general readers--synthesizes what we already know about environmental hazards, identifies the gaps in our knowledge, and provides a roadmap for reducing human exposure to environmental pollution. With contributions from leading experts, Environmental Determinants of Human Health examines numerous pollutants, both inorganic and organic, in the context of their human health impacts. Individual chapters explore exposure pathways, macroeconomic impacts of human health deterioration, technological and non-technological methods for reducing exposures, monetary and non-monetary benefits from exposure reduction, and risk communication and awareness, including citizen participation approaches. This volume is a crucial text for policy makers requiring scientific justification for the development of new environmental regulations, scientists researching public health and environmental contamination, and members of the public interested in human health issues.
