Abstract

INTARESE brings together a team of internationally lead scientists in the areas of epidemiology, environmental science and biosciences to collaborate on developing and applying new, integrated approaches to the assessment of environmental health risks and consequences, in support of European policy on environmental health. The project is designed to make a major and practical contribution to implementation of the European Action Plan on Environment and Health, the European Environment and Health Strategy and the European Integrated Environment and Health Monitoring and Response System, and more generally, to assist in achieving the goals of the Environmental Action Plan. The INTARESE approach has five important characteristics that distinguish it from traditional risk assessment: a) it is focused on policies; b) it is systemic in approach; c)it considers beneficial as well as adverse effects of any situation or intervention; d) it is based on a ?full-chain' analysis; e) results of assessments are additive, in that different causes and effects can be summed to provide a measure of the overall net impact on health.
