Health, environment & disease: a guidance note (pdf 330kb)

This Guidance Note examines the conditions which determine whether an environmental hazard is responsible for a substantial amount of disease, and whether feasible measures are available to prevent it.

It considers three problems which account for nearly three quarters of the environmental burden of disease:
- Water, sanitation and hygiene
- Indoor air pollution
- Injuries
