From the Publisher

Covers advances in research, testing, remediation, and removal methods for hazardous pollutants. Several chapters address specific health risks in industrial and occupational settings, such as organophosphate poisoning, wood dust exposure, lead in the work environment, and the link between cancer and aromatic amines. Workplace environmental hazards such as heat and noise are also given substantial attention in several chapters. Medical research and associated studies are quoted in detail, explaining the dangers of these substances. Recent federal, state, and local regulations are cited and reviewed in terms of their impact on how environmental hazards are mitigated. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
