| "Environmental health hazards, including those in the work environment, are ubiquitous, often insidious, and generally poorly understood. As such, they are of increasing interest to the general public and of fundamental importance to health care providers.... nurses are often the initial, and sometimes the only, point of contact for people seeking medical care...." ("Nursing Health, and the Environment," National Academy Press, 1995) |
