Below announcement has been shared by Anne Fink, Villanova University:

Dear ANHE Nurses,

I am so excited to announce that Environmental Health in Nursing is now live on our website.

The Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (ANHE) is delighted to announce the publication of Environmental Health in Nursing – an open access textbook for nurses and other health professionals. Leading environmental health nursing experts have joined together to share their environmental health knowledge, expertise and experiences.

The book offers essential information for nurses new to the topics as well as those with advanced environmental health experience. What is so exciting about this book is that our electronic format provides direct links to authoritative resources such as the EPA, ToxNet and WHO. In addition it provides ease of accessing information because of the electronic search features. We want this to be a living document and we welcome ideas for new topics and potential authors in subsequent editions.

Thank you to our amazing and incredibly hardworking editors – Jeanne Leffers, Claudia M. Smith, Ruth McDermott-Levy, Katie Huffling, and Barbara Sattler. This truly was a labor of love. And thank you to all of our contributors your breadth of knowledge and dedication to environmental health nursing is inspiring.

I hope this e-Textbook will become the go-to resource for nurses, in the coming months and years ahead, as the work of environmental health nurses becomes even more vital to the health of our nation.
