(Routledge Studies in Environment and Health) 1st Edition, Kindle Edition
by Friedo Zölzer (Editor), Gaston Meskens (Editor)
Environmental health involves the
assessment and control of environmental factors that can potentially
affect human health, such as radiation, toxic chemicals and other
hazardous agents. It is less commonly understood that environmental
health also requires addressing questions of an ethical nature.
Bringing
together work from experts across a range of sub-disciplines of
environmental health, this collection of essays discusses the ethical
implications of environmental health research and its application,
presented at the 3rd International Symposium on Ethics of Environmental
Health held in August 2016 in the Czech Republic. In doing so, it builds
upon the insights and ideas put forward in the first volume of Ethics of Environmental Health, published by Routledge in early 2017.
This
volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of
environmental health, applied ethics, environmental ethics, medical
ethics and bioethics, as well as those concerned with public health,
environmental studies, toxicology and radiation.
