Abstract

In environmental epidemiology research, decisions about when and how to intervene requires adequate ethical reflection.

In this contribution we propose to consider three topics we regard as crucial to this ethical debate: the reporting of conclusive research data; the correct application of the precautionary principle; and the environmental equity issues.
