Modelling the public health risks associated with environmental exposures: A case study in wastewater reuse
Description
This project used a novel, probabilistic approach to overcome challenges of assessing health risks associated with recycled water. The thesis describes development of graphical statistical models combining key factors influencing risk of infection. The models were used to analyse exposure scenarios and risk management options for working or playing in public parks irrigated with recycled water and for consumption of recycled water-irrigated lettuce. Water managers can use the models interactively to vary exposure factors and assess outcomes of their decisions under different conditions.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
