Publisher's Synopsis
The political, economic and social changes in Central and Eastern European Countries and the Soviet Union which started in the late eighties and continue today, have deeply influenced the health care system of these countries including those aspects of public health concerned with the environment and occupation. This publication presents a snapshot of how countries in Central and Eastern Europe are dealing with the many pollution problems facing them. The papers report how various countries are trying to improve their industries, compete in markets which until recently were denied them, and at the same time provide a better, cleaner, less polluted environment for their peoples.
