What Role Do Epidemiologists Play in Superfund Site Management?
Epidemiologists are crucial in assessing the health risks associated with Superfund sites. They conduct studies to determine the prevalence and incidence of diseases in populations living near these sites. Their findings help inform risk assessments, guide remediation efforts, and shape policies aimed at reducing exposure. Epidemiologists also engage in health surveillance and community outreach to educate the public about potential risks.
