Synopsis

Spatial epidemiology is concerned with describing, quantifying and explaining geographical variations in disease, especially with respect to variations in environmental exposures at the small-area scale. The rapid expansion of the field looks set to continue in line with growing public, government and media concern about environment and health issues, and a scientific need to understand and explain the effects of environmental pollutants on health. This book brings together contributions from an international group of practitioners from a wide spectrum of disciplines including epidemiologists, statisticians, geographers, demographers and pollution modellers, providing a comprehensive reference on methods and applications in the emerging field of spatial epidemiology.

It is a resource for experts and novices alike. (Statistics in Medicine, Vol 22, No 14)
