[pdf]

http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/en/

The World Health Organization works in a number of public health areas,
and
their work on quantifying environmental health impacts has been receiving
praise from many quarters. This site provides materials on their work in
this area and visitors with a penchant for international health relief
efforts and policy analysis will find the site invaluable. Along the
left-
hand side of the site, visitors will find topical sections that include
"Methods", "Assessment at national level", "Global estimates", and
"Publications". In the "Methods" area, visitors will learn about how the
World Health Organization's methodology for studying environmental health
impacts has been developed and they can also read a detailed report on
the
subject. The "Global Estimates" area is worth a look as well, and users
can
look at their complete report, "Preventing Disease Through Healthy
Environments: Towards An Estimate Of the Global Burden Of Disease". [KMG]
