Moreover, environmental health at the local level has become narrowly focused, very much defined around regulations and the attendant regulatory debates.

The approach proposed by the Environmental Genome Project offers great scientific opportunity and the potential to improve public health.
It is important to consider whether the sample size selected by the Environmental Genome Project will provide sufficient power to discover most alleles relevant to gene-environment interactions.
One of the responsibilities faced by the Environmental Genome Project is to provide the science base upon which society can make better informed risk management decisions.
We all recognize that in recent decades, many important achievements have helped create a cleaner, healthier environment, yet our national needs in environmental health are not being fully met.
While the Environmental Genome Project does not seek to assign allele frequencies, we are aware of the importance of accurate allele frequency estimates for future epidemiologic studies and the large sample sizes such estimates will require.
The goal of the initial phase of the Environmental Genome Project is to stimulate research in the area of polymorphism discovery.
A key to success in the future is to define broader environmental health goals that call for better linking of environmental and public health.
