Spatial distribution of negative health indices in ecological hazard areas in Poland.
Spatial distribution of negative health indices (relative risk, synthetic measure) was demonstrated in 27 ecological hazard areas (EHAs) in Poland. For comparison reference areas were selected. The health indices were used for developing a general index of harmfulness characteristic for individual EHA. The health status ranking in EHAs is useful in setting priorities for remediation.
