丹麦现已提供进行高质量小区域环境健康研究的所有要素。其中包括所有地址的地理编码（“地址项目”）、中央人口登记册、健康登记册和环境数据。目前正在开发可以处理所有这四个来源的数据的系统。本章介绍了不同的寄存器以及它们合并后带来的新机会。然而，这个新工具有其局限性。现代工业社会中的大多数环境暴露来自食物或广泛存在于环境中，例如汽车尾气。在明确的地理区域中存在的数量较少，而且很少有强大到足以对健康产生任何重大影响的。这些因素限制了使用空间分析方法调查环境健康关系的机会，并限制了可以解决的问题类型。这些限制将在本章后面的部分中进一步讨论。然而，首先描述新工具的不同元素。
All elements for doing high-quality small area environmental health studies are now available in Denmark. These include geo-coding of all addresses (the'Address Project'), a central population register, health registers and environmental data. Work is now in progress to develop systems, which can handle data from all four of these sources. This chapter describes the different registers and the new opportunities they give when merged. The new tool, however, has its limitations. Most environmental exposures in modern industrial society come from food or are widely present in the environment, for example exhausts from vehicles. Fewer are present in well-defined geographic areas and few are strong enough to have any significant impact on health. These factors limit the opportunity to investigate environmental health relationships using spatial analytical methods, and inhibit the types of problem that can be addressed. These limitations are further discussed in the later sections of this chapter. First, however, the different elements of the new tool are described.
