✦ Synopsis

As the nations of Eastern Europe undergo political and economic transitions, they face considerable occupational and environmental health challenges. Although occupational health services are relatively well developed, environmental health services and policies are not. There are major needs in the areas of education and training, supplies and equipment, and policy development. In addition, privatization poses a variety of new challenges and dangers to occupational and environmental health. This commentary discusses the challenges that face Eastern European nations, and describes opportunities for collaboration among scientists, policymakers, labor, management, and community groups in the United States and Eastern Europe.
