Management of Emerging Public Health Issues and Risks: Multidisciplinary Approaches to the Changing Environment addresses the threats facing the rapidly changing world and provides guidance on how to manage risks to population health. Unlike conventional and recognized risks (major, industrial, and natural), emerging risks are characterized by low or non-existent scientific knowledge, high levels of uncertainty, and different levels of acceptability by the relevant authorities and exposed populations. Emerging risk must be analyzed through multiple and crossed approaches identifying the phenomenon linked to the emergence of risk but also by combining scientific, policy and social data in order to provide more enlightened decision making. Management of Emerging Public Health Issues and Risks: Multidisciplinary Approaches to the Changing Environment provides examples of transdisciplinary approaches used to characterize, analyze, and manage emerging risks. This book will be useful for public health researchers, policy makers, and students as well as those working in emergency management, risk management, security, environmental health, nanomaterials, and food science.

Dr. Roig is professor in risk sciences. He is head of the CHROME laboratory (EA7352) dealing with the characterisation and management of chronic and emerging risks. He was involved in numerous project focussed on the impact of contaminated environment on human population. He was the Scientific Coordinator of the EU funded PHARMAS Project, which assesses the risks to wild animals and humans posed by environmental exposure to pharmaceuticals. He has published numerous articles on risk related to environmental waters. Currently member of the Occitanie regionnal expert panel for small and high water cycle. Previously member to the scientific board of the research program for environment and health of ANSES as well as member of European external Expert panels for endocrine disrupting chemicals . Dr. Weiss has contributed actively to the consolidation and dissemination of environmental psychology in France. Together with her colleagues from the Laboratory of Environmental Psychology at the University Paris-Descartes, she promoted the creation of the Association of Francophone Environmental Psychology (ARPEnv). She has published articles on various aspects of environmental psychology, from social psychological and from social representation approaches, including welfare; the relationship of the individual with natural resources and natural hazards; risk and risk management, both in natural and built environments, syndrome of the sick building, and environmental psychology in France. Dr. Thireau has published over a dozen articles in Institutional Economics, Industrial Organization, Economic Geography.
