Occupational health in advanced countries in the next century.
The gift of prophecy is rare but an attempt is made to forecast some of the developments in occupational health in the next century. People will not change nor will the natural laws or the properties of chemicals. The biological environment may alter significantly as a result of bioengineering. Environmental stresses will be different but the psychosocial responses will remain the same. Many of the current problems of dose-response relationships will be resolved by time and experience, though inevitably new problems will arise. The level of expectation of health will continue to exceed the resources available.
