Concept information
Preferred term
International Society for Environmental Epidemiology
Definition
- The International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE), founded in 1987, initially provided a U.S.-based forum for epidemiological experts to discuss three topics: clean drinking water technology, air pollution concerns, and the increased risk of cancer in and around nuclear facilities. Since then, ISEE has expanded to an international organization that addresses environmental hazards and adverse health effects connected to exposure to those hazards, the interaction of genetics and environmental influences in causing these health conditions, and ethical questions surrounding these topics.
