A colleague from the WHO Office in New Delhi, passed on your Health and Environment Newsletter to me that I read with great interest. We welcome your effort to place particular emphasis on the link between environment and health and to stress the special vulnerability of women, children and the poor.

I find the health and environment newsletter to be a very interesting publication, which may be the first of its kind in our country. You have rightly said in your editorial that we have to do something to bridge the information gap that exists in the field of health and environment. In trying to bridge that gap, CSE is doing a laudable service to the nation.
