For your reading pleasure, I offer you Impact Analysis. May it be the portal for your adventure in environmental health. My principal reason for creating Impact Analysis is that there appear to be very few blogs that cover this topic. While I may not be the most eminently qualified to write about it, I have made a living in the field throughout my adult working career, and I’ve enjoyed writing about environmental health and risk assessment in a manner different from what I’m paid to do – hopefully less dry, boring and technical. If any of the topics discussed here interest you further and you’d like to contact me about them, please e-mail me at impactanaly@gmail.com.
Discourse in environmental health risks has become very polarized, a trend that tends to cloud the discussion. Clouded discussions are not good with this topic. As you will see in future posts, transparency in how data are collected, evaluated and discussed is one of my critical success factors for better managing environmental health. With that thought in mind, it is my hope that you will find Impact Analysis to be a clearer window for viewing the world of environmental health as well as an enjoyable reading experience.
