Guidelines on Studies in Environmental Epidemiology: Environmental Health Criteria 27

The present monograph should serve as a useful guide to the conduct of epidemiological studies on the effects of non—biological agents on the health of human communities. An epidemiological investigation would involve not only epidemiologists but also other experts (e.g., clinicians, statisticians, engineers, chemists, and nurses), and the monograph is intended to address such a broad audience. The editorial group believes that this publication will pave the way for future studies.
