Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Prioritizing Environmental Risks to Health- 3. Assessing the Environmental Burden of Disease: Method Overview -- 4: Burden of Disease from Outdoor Air Pollution.- 5. Burden of Disease from Indoor Air Pollution -- 6. Burden of Disease from Occupational Exposures -- 7. Burden of Disease from Climate -- Change -- 8. Burden of Disease from Drinking Water Contamination -- 9. Burden of Disease from Coastal Water Pollution -- 10. Burden of Disease from Soil and Groundwater Contamination -- 11. Burden of Disease from Produce and Seafood Contamination.- 12: Applying Environmental Burden of Disease Predictions.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This publication characterizes the environmental burden of disease in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), measured by the excess number of deaths and illnesses in the population due to exposure to environmental hazards. The robust methods used in this risk analysis can be applied to any country or region. This publication documents the systematic, multi-step process used to identify environmental priorities and the detailed methods used to quantify the disease burden attributable to each risk. Based on the results of the burden of disease assessment, the publication summarizes the subsequent steps that are recommended to further reduce the burden of disease resulting from various environmental risk factors.
