How Does the Superfund Program Relate to Epidemiology?
Epidemiology plays a crucial role in the Superfund Program by assessing the health impacts of exposure to hazardous substances on communities living near these sites. Epidemiologists study the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in these populations. Through this research, they can identify potential health risks and help in the formulation of public health strategies to mitigate these risks.
