“Robert Friis possesses an impressive ability to clearly present the complex interactions and relationships pertinent to environmental health. The author's service in public health epidemiology and his experience in the classroom shine in this book. This book is a valuable cornerstone for the emerging Essentials of Public Health series.”

 "Many textbooks have been published on environmental health. I have reviewed a number of them. But Friis’ work is by all reasonable standards a superior product. All students of public health should read it. It is an excellent resource for teaching all students in the health sciences, graduate and undergraduate, as well as medical students, future physicians. Friis deserves commendations of the highest order for writing a book with immediate relevance to public health and medicine."
