What Methods Are Used to Study Nutrient Pollutants?
Epidemiologists employ various methods to study the impact of nutrient pollutants. Ecological studies are often used to observe the correlation between nutrient levels in water bodies and the incidence of health effects in nearby populations. Case-control and cohort studies can also be useful in understanding the relationship between exposure levels and health outcomes. Additionally, geospatial analysis helps in identifying hotspots of nutrient pollution and associated health risks.
