摘要：Cross-disciplinary approaches to Global Environmental Health are essential to addressenvironmental health threats within and beyond national boundaries, taking into accountthe links among health, environment and socio-economic development. The aim of thisstudy is to present a cross-disciplinary approach where knowledge and findings fromenvironmental epidemiology and social research are integrated in studying environmentalhealth issues, focusing on environmental health inequities, public and environmentalhealth literacy, and international scientific cooperation. In the case of contaminatedsites, environmental epidemiology can contribute investigating the multidimensionalityof equity for sustainable development practices. These practices entail a better understandingof environmental contamination, health effects pathways and improved capacitiesof different stakeholders to identify policy options for environmental risk prevention,remediation and management that will foster informed participation in decisions influencingcommunities. International scientific cooperation frameworks adopting equityprinciples shared by scientific community, populations and decision-makers may be ofvaluable support to this task.
