| Certain groups have a greater risk of exposure to environmental toxins than others. How can public health ethics advise risk assessment and the nature of risk in such situations? What are the values and justifications (ethical, political) that underpin decisions about thresholds of risk from environmental hazards necessary for legislative or regulatory action. Also, the session welcomes discussions about the provision of preventive care and interventions in such situations from the context of health promotions and or disease prevention. | |||

What are the values and justifications (ethical, political) that underpin decisions about thresholds of risk from environmental hazards necessary for legislative or regulatory action. Also, the session welcomes discussions about the provision of preventive care and interventions in such situations from the context of health promotions and or disease prevention | |||
