About the Book

Friis’ Essentials of Environmental Health offers a clear and comprehensive overview of the key topics in environmental health. Beginning with foundational concepts and essential methodologies such as environmental epidemiology, toxicology, and policy and regulation, the book then explores environmental diseases, including those caused by microbial agents and exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Finally, it examines practical applications and domains within the field, including water and air quality, food safety, waste management, and occupational health. Now in its Fourth Edition, the book has been updated by a new team of authors—Neuberger, Pacheco, and Canales—to include the latest research, data, and reflect the Healthy People 2030 objectives. Each chapter ends with updated questions and exercises to help readers think more deeply about the material. Key Updates - New chapter on Disasters examines natural vs. human-made disasters. - New chapter on Climate Change covers greenhouse gases and their effects on humans and wildlife, changes in the Arctic/Antarctic, sea level rise, changes in allergens and mitigation efforts - Expanded content on topics such as environmental justice, indoor/outdoor air quality and monitoring/control, water quality (including fluoridation controversies), radon, impacts on wildlife, occupational cancers, and more. - Updated figures, tables, and data, case studies, and revised discussion questions.

His'multidisciplinary work takes many forms but primarily focuses on'personal and residential multimedia exposures,'contaminant transport, indoor air quality, infectious disease transmission, and risk analysis. Methods include machine learning, probabilistic simulation, agent-based modeling, dynamic compartmental modeling, Monte Carlo simulation, and nonparametric techniques.'Robert also enjoys instructing students across various programs in public health and mentoring'students from diverse backgrounds that are motivated to learn about interdisciplinary science, applied statistics, and computational methods in environmental science and health. Dr. Joseph Anthony Pacheco is an Assistant Professor with an Indigenous population focus in the College of Health at Lehigh University. He is a community-based participatory researcher with extensive experience working in the field of public health and has conducted prevention and implementation research for over ten years in both reservation and urban Indigenous communities. He comes to Lehigh from the University of Kansas School of Medicine, where he obtained his PhD in Health Policy and Management in the Department of Population Health. He has also served as a project manager for numerous American Indian-focused NIH-funded grants focused on tobacco cessation and healthy home environments at the University of Kansas Medical Center. More recently, he has served as a Senior Research Scientist for the Institute for Indigenous Studies at Lehigh University. As an Indigenous person, his research goals are to find ways to reduce Indigenous health inequities and address the many social impediments to health that exist in Indigenous communities throughout the Americas. He strives to involve the community in all aspects of his research, from concept inception through design, analysis, and dissemination, utilizing a community-based participatory research approach. In addition to his research, Dr. Pacheco aspires to surpass his students' expectations as their instructor. His teaching philosophy is to focus on the most important people in the classroom, the students. His goal is to create an inclusive strength-based learning environment that allows all students to bring their prior knowledge and experiences to the classroom and places a higher importance on opportunities for additional learning as opposed to "right and wrong answers".'
