Clay's Handbook of Environmental Health

About this book

i, since its first publication in 1933, has provided a definitive guide for the environmental health practitioner, or reference for the consultant or student.

This 20th edition continues as a first point of reference, reviewing the core principles, techniques and competencies, and then outlining the specialist subjects. It has been refocused on the current curriculum of the UK's Chartered Institute of Environmental Health but should also readily suit the generalist or specialist working outside the UK.
