Opis

This completely updated edition of Exposure Assessment in Environmental Epidemiology offers a practical introduction to exposure assessment methodologies in environmental epidemiologic studies. In addition to methods for traditional methods -- questionnaires, biomonitoring -- this new edition is expanded to include geographic information systems, modeling, personal sensoring, remote sensing, and OMICs technologies. In addition, each of these methods is contextualized within a recent epidemiology study, maximizing illustration for students and those new to these to these techniques. With clear writing and extensive illustration, this book will be useful to anyone interested in exposure assessment, regardless of background.

Recenzje

It is hard not to be excited about this book. It can be challenging to put biology, mathematics, the healing arts, and earth sciences together in a meaningful manner that yields useful exposure assessments, but Professor Nieuwenhuisjen's team has done just that with this second edition. . . This book is remarkable in terms of its clarity and completeness.
