نویسنده
چکیده
I must thank the Caribbean Water and Waste Water Association for the invitation to address this Ninth Annual Conference, and also the staff of the Division of Environmental Health of the Pan American Health Organization who supplied me with many of the details of the environmental health situation in the Caribbean and the Americas.
