Environmental Health in Australia and New Zealand is an introductory yet comprehensive textbook for the current and emerging needs of the environmental health professional, written by experts in the field. The book is unique in that its framework is based on Risk Assessment, a methodology adopted world wide to address environmental health issues; and also as it highlights environmental health issues applicable to Australia, New Zealand and their near northern neighbours. Environmental Health in Australia and New Zealand provides environmental health students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and health professionals, with the means for assessing, correcting, controlling and preventing those aspects of human health that are determined by physical, chemical, biological, social and psychosocial factors in the environment.
