Home hygiene: a risk approach

This paper outlines the risk-based approach adopted by IFH in formulating the IFH targeted approach to home hygiene. It also summarises some of the evidence base which has been used by the IFH in developing this approach, although a significant amount of additional data relevant to this approach has been published since 2002 and can be found in the IFH reading rooms. The review was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, January 2003, Vol 206, 1-8.
