  2. WHO European Centre for Environment and Health Systematic reviews of research needs in health and environment European Science Foundation. An Environment for Better Health, 1999 WHO / EEA Children‘s Environmental Health: Review of Evidence, 2002 SCALE process, TWG on Research, 2003-2004 ...

  3. What research we need Implementation Monitoring/ Evaluation Formulation WHO European Centre for Environment and Health Assessment of interventions/ accountability research E-H linkages in setting priorities for policy actions Communication to policy-makers, perceptions and judgments

  4. WHO European Centre for Environment and Health Research on health-environment linkages Etiological research Examples: Air Quality Guidelines global update: studies of long-term health effects of air pollution in Europe (ACS estimates) Health impact assessment of drinking water pollution not feasible - lack of exposure-response functions

  5. Emissions to air Ambient air quality Population exposure REGULATORY OR OTHER ACTION Health effects WHO European Centre for Environment and Health Accountability research Assessments of health benefits of a regulatory or other action Example: air pollution (PM10, PM2.5) Work by US HEI, IIASA for CAFE ? For health-environment it’s just the beginning!

  6. WHO European Centre for Environment and Health Assessment of interventions WHO – case studies on protecting children from environmental risks. These need to be assessed - research on how to do it.

  7. WHO European Centre for Environment and Health Also … Maintaining an up-to-date knowledge-base/ knowledge reference service Periodic review and evaluation of the scientific evidence according to standardised procedures; transparency of the reviews Maintaining information on case examples of interventions benefiting health and environment Maintaining an up-to-date database on human exposure/ dose

  8. WHO European Centre for Environment and Health Communication with policy-making ‘Soft’ research on user’s attitudes, preferences on reporting (‘bibles’ vs. succinct reports) Empirical research on different stakeholders’ perceptions, judgments, valuations Example: A negative attitude to nuclear power plants vs. none to solid fuel combustion for heating because of the increased energy price.
