    Title
    Factors in the physical environment and the health of the Dutch population
    Translated Title
    Fysieke omgeving en de gezondheid van de Nederlandse bevolking
    Publiekssamenvatting
    The number of factors in the physical environment possibly having an adverse effect on human health is very substantial. There are, for example, all kinds of pathogenic micro-organisms, countless substances which have been shown to be carcinogenic in laboratory animals, as well as various forms of radiation. In addition, many hazardous activities, such as motoring, skiing or diving, may pose a threat to our health. In this document, which was previously published in Dutch as part of the Public Health Status and Forecasts document, a structured overview is given of factors in the physical environment which may adversely affect human health. In addition the chain of events from exposure to health effect is described in terms of different types of environmental health risk indicators. Methodologies for health risk identification and quantitative assessment will be discussed briefly, as well as the possible health gain of risk reducing policy measures. After this general introduction examples of chemical (indoor and outdoor air pollution), physical (noise, radiation) and biotic (microorganisms in drinking water) factors will be elaborated in successive contributions (chapter 2 to 4). In all contributions topics of the relationship with other determinants of health, intervention and policy (possible health gain), data and information requirements are addressed.
    Er is naar alle waarschijnlijkheid een groot aantal factoren in de fysieke omgeving met een schadelijk effect op de gezondheid. Zo zijn er talrijke pathogene micro-organismen, talloze stoffen die voor laboratorium dieren kankerverwekkend bleken, en verschillende vormen van straling. Daarenboven vormen vele activiteiten zoals autorijden, skien, of duiken een mogelijk gevaar voor onze gezondheid. In dit rapport dat is ontleend aan eerder gepubliceerd materiaal in de volksgezondheid toekomstverkenning, wordt een overzicht gegeven van factoren in de fysische omgeving die een schadelijk effect op de volksgezondheid hebben. De keten van gebeurtenissen van blootstelling aan de desbetreffende factor tot effect op de gezondheid wordt beschreven in termen van verschillende soort risico-indicatoren. Methoden voor het opsporen van gezondheidsrisico's en kwantitatieve schattingen worden kort besproken, alsmede mogelijke gezondheidswinst door risicoverlagende maatregelen. Na een algemene inleiding volgen voorbeelden van chemische (luchtvervuiling binnen en buiten het huis), fysische (geluid, straling), en biotische (micro-organismen in het drinkwater) factoren (hoofdstuk 2, 3 en 4). In alle bijdragen worden relaties aan de orde gesteld met andere determinanten van gezondheid, interventiemogelijkheden en beleid (mogelijke gezondheidswinst), gegevens- en informatiebehoefte.
