What Are the Epidemiologic Methods to Study the Impact of Industrial Waste?
Epidemiologists use various methods to study the impact of industrial waste on health. Cohort studies follow a group of people over time to examine how exposure affects health outcomes. Case-control studies compare individuals with specific health issues (cases) to those without (controls) to identify potential exposure-related causes. Cross-sectional studies assess the health and exposure status of a population at a single point in time.
