This 3-day intensive workshop will introduce the key health effects of environmental exposures and the epidemiologic methods used to identify and estimate those effects. The interplay of methodological issues, including the assessment of environmental exposures and the understanding of specific disease processes in identifying the health impact of environmental exposures in the population, will be emphasized. Additional topics for discussion include environmental exposures (including water and air pollution, food contamination, ionizing radiation, persistent environmental pollutants and emergent environmental exposures) and key methodological issues relevant for these exposures in population studies.
