DPSEEA model: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:50, 2 February 2008

The model describes six components of the environment-health chain:

Driving forces — that act as root causes for, and influences upon, the processes of concern
Pressures on the environment — that arise as a result of these root causes
State — changes to the environment as a consequence of these pressures
Exposures — that take place when humans are exposed to these changed environmental conditions
Effects — adverse impacts on health due to these exposures
Actions — policy and other interventions, aimed at reducing or avoiding these adverse health effects
