Further edits needed
I have been trying to add to this page in line with the WikiProject Medicine Manual of Style. It still needs some work in the lead section and would benefit from other additional sections added. Particularly, I think it would benefit from a "Training" section and "Ethical and legal issues" section. Other improvements needed include reducing jargon, increasing the number of citations, and re-wording some unclear language. --Zana.percy (talk) 23:13, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Article inadequate in current form
I would suggest that this page is rather inadequate at the moment, particularly in terms of a lack of examples. I will attempt to add some relevant content over the coming weeks.Jimjamjak (talk) 17:46, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

resource here?
Toxins All around Us; Exposure to the chemicals in everyday objects poses a hidden health threat by Patricia Hunt Scientific American September 30, 2011 Excerpt ... 97.87.29.188 (talk) 19:35, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I fail to see the point that is being made by posting this excerpt here. Can you expand on what this has to do with the article. It is clear that environmental epidemiology has a role to play in risk assessment of chemical exposures, but it also has many other roles to play (as described in the somewhat brief article as it stands). Please note that Wikipedia talk pages are not a forum and are not for discussing around a general subject.Jimjamjak (talk) 09:16, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Voluntary exposure?
The article currently describes exposures considered in environmental epidemiology as "involuntary and thus generally exclude occupational exposures and voluntary exposures such as active smoking, medications, and diet." I would argue that this is not true by any means - a brief review of the structures of several important enviromental epidemiology departments in universities around the world demonstrates that environmental epidemiology may take into account both "voluntary" and "involuntary" exposures, and I would also suggest that this definition is somewhat blurred and, potentially, irrelevant. In many core texts on epidemiology, for example, an environmental exposure is generally considered to be any non-genetic exposure.Jimjamjak (talk) 14:36, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
