Medical Effects of Atmospheric Pollution and Noise
Conference paper
Abstract
The effects on health of atmospheric pollution and noise are discussed in the light of present knowledge. The problems of measuring environmental health impacts are outlined. A case study is included which concerns the attempt to predict the environmental impact of constructing a large steel works in Teesside in the early 1970’s.
