| The urban environment includes health threats from polluted air and water emanating from industrial sources as well as the lack of sanitation or wastewater disposal and treatment. There is solid evidence that it is the health of the poor that is most threatened by the degradation of the urban environment. A key part of the policy response at all levels needs to be the ability to set priorities and determine cost-effective responses to these threats, to be illustrated in this session for air pollution, wastewater treatment and reuse, and industrial pollution. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, participants will be able to: (1) Describe the impacts of urban pollution on local populations; (2) Explain how assessments can strengthen strategies to improve air pollution; (3) Describe how to most efficiently use limited financial resources. | |||
