E Risk Sciences, LLP recently completed a review of the environmental burden of disease in Canada on behalf of the National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health, Public Health Agency of Canada (www.ncceh.ca).  The purpose of this report is to better inform practitioners and policymakers about the contribution of different environmental exposures to public health risks in developing countries, such as Canada, and to identify key data gaps and areas in need of additional research.
