Editorial Reviews

Gr 9 Up-A solid reference tool. The first section is devoted to defining indoor pollution, its sources, and its effects on health. The bulk of the book focuses on legal issues related to the various pollutants and provides lists of print resources, concerned organizations, and audiovisual materials. Some of these resources may not be readily available, but ample sources for reports are included. Unfamiliar terms, including ways of measurement, are illuminated in the glossary.-Mary B.
