Epidemiological studies: These studies help in understanding the relationship between exposure and health outcomes.
Surveillance systems: Continuous monitoring of disease incidence and prevalence assists in detecting emerging hazards.
Risk assessment: This involves evaluating the potential impact of a hazard on public health.
Environmental monitoring: Assessing environmental samples for contaminants can identify potential hazards.
Laboratory testing: Identifying pathogens through biological samples is key for recognizing biological hazards.
