Research Ethics for Environmental HealthAuthor(s): Friedo Zlzer, Gaston Meskens\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367332037, 978-0367332037\nSynopsis\nResearch Ethics for Environmental Health explores the ethical basis of environmental health research and related aspects of risk assessment and control. \n\nEnvironmental health encompasses the assessment and control of those environmental factors that can potentially affect human health, such as radiation, toxic chemicals and other hazardous agents. It is often assumed that the assessment part is just a matter of scientific research, and that control is a matter of implementing standards that unambiguously follow from that research. But it is less commonly understood that environmental health also requires addressing questions of an ethical nature. Coming from multiple disciplines and nine different countries, the contributors to this book critically examine a dive.
