\nRésumé :When an environmental epidemiology study 
 is published\, there is now a direct pathway of interpretive information f
 rom the scientific literature to the general public.  The large and ever-
 growing number of epidemiology publications and the attention garnered by 
 these publications make it essential that the scientific community\, the m
 edia\, health care professionals and others understand the strengths and w
 eaknesses of the literature as well as nuances in interpretation of the st
 udy results.  One underexplored aspect of strengths and limitations in th
 is body of literature is whether the exposure information is of sufficient
  quality for various levels of decision-making (“i.e.\, fit-for-purpose)
 .  Another issue relates to the quality of reviews on these bodies of epi
 demiology literature and the extent of analysis used to support conclusion
 s.  These and related issues will be described\, and a published instrume
 nt for assessing exposure data quality will be discussed.
