An emergency environmental health investigation of a mass poisoning of unknown origin is a multidiscipline effort that requires the cooperation and close communication of epidemiologists, toxicologists, and chemists. The laboratory's role in this effort is important; special instruments, knowledge, and experience are needed. Our approach to such an investigation is discussed and past cases are used as illustrations. The role of the analytical chemist is presented, and the major resources needed for these investigations are described.
对一起不明来源群体中毒事件进行的应急环境卫生调查是一项多学科工作，需要流行病学家、毒理学家和化学家的合作与密切沟通。实验室在这项工作中的作用至关重要；需要特殊的仪器、知识和经验。本文讨论了我们对此类调查的方法，并以过去的案例作为例证。介绍了分析化学家的作用，并描述了这些调查所需的主要资源。
