Definitions

Definitions are a key aspect to consider when attempting to compare approaches to environmental public health across the countries in the European region. Due to historic and cultural differences between the countries, terms used to describe environmental public health, environmental medicine, and related fields may vary across countries. In the absence of agreed definitions, the description of educational and professional arrangements may be confusing. The PHEEDUNET partners have prepared a document that includes several definitions relevant to the task of the project, and this is available here. The document is now in final form. However, we open an another document what contains comments; we will update it regularly. You are invited to send your comments to the webmaster, so your comments can be included in an amended version of this comment document.
