Abstract: Abstract The human environment - “the aggregate of surrounding things, conditions, or influences especially as affecting the existence or development of someone or something” (Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language 1989) — is a topic of ever increasing public awareness. Concern about the safety of the environment has stimulated controversial debates both in the general public as well as in the scientific community. Environmental safety has to meet defined standards for the protection of public health and epidemiological knowledge has to be gathered on the impact of risk factors on human health.
