Statement on the purpose and future of this 'Health, Environment and Work' WWW resource:

This website is self-funded by the author, who is Professor of Occupational and Environmental Medicine at the University of Manchester. The main work activities of the author are to carry out research and to teach in Occupational and Environmental Health and Medicine. Although educational resources are currently being developed by the author and colleagues, at another WWW location for the exclusive use of students of the Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, this WWW resource on 'Health, Environment and Work' will remain freely available.

The intended audience ranges depending upon the pages being accessed - from motivated members of the general public interested in matters such as air pollution and health at work, to undergraduates such as medical students seeking information about subject not well covered in their curriculum, to specialists such as occupational physicians addressing issues of quality and audit.
 
 

The above photo taken by the author of this website has been chosen for its allegorical character. It depicts air, land and water, as well as the sun - the main source of our planet's energy. It also shows a silhouette of man's contribution to the environment in the form of houses, the chimneys of a power station and a large municipal gas tank. The photo features on the front cover of the report on sulphur dioxide by the Expert Panel on Air Quality Standards.
