Environmental Standards. Combined Exposures and their Effect on Human Beings and their Environment
Based on a study of the mechanisms involved, criteria have been formulated, in spite of the overwhelming complexity of the problem, to provide a guide towards achieving desired environmental quality goals. This study aims to uncover areas where further research is needed and to show possible solutions.
The results are intended to enable the expedient design of policies and economic processes for establishing environmental standards, in regard to combined exposures and also taking into account societal norms and perceptions.
