Journal Title: Pollution and Public Health - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 25% of the disease burden and 23% of deaths worldwide are related to environmental factors. This paper is an update of an earlier work "Epidemiological Evaluation of Notifications of Environmental Events in the State of São Paulo, Brazil - 2011-2012." The paper describes the characteristics of contaminated areas and of the accidents which involved chemical substances, methods used, types of substances, exposed population, and measures adopted. The online notification of environmental events increases the analysis of the main events associated with diseases related to environmental chemicals. Thus, it facilitates the adoption of public policies to prevent environmental health problems. Period covered is January 2013 to January 2015.
