| dc.description | There is a growing awareness worldwide of the need to assess the
implications for human health of many major development projects and
policies. The belief that 'prevention is better than cure' was never more
applicable than in the assessment of potential damage which can occur
when implementing these projects, particularly in developing countries.
Sound development planning and the application of acceptable guide lines are essential at the outset to avoid damaging health effects.
A series of major guidance documents has been developed at MARC
in co-operation with the World Health Organization for the assessment
of broad human health and welfare effects in the context of the Environ mental Impact Assessment process. These documents highlight substan tive issues relating to decision-making and the evaluation of impacts.
The aim is to provide a compact source of references that gives a quick
perspective of the important issues for different types of projects and
information that helps to guide the evaluation of impacts and alternatives. Case studies will be outlined where possible to provide a practical perspective to the conceptual framework. | |
