Editorial Reviews

While Volume one of this two-volume reference deals with the indoor environment, Volume 2 goes outside to cover such topics as air pollutants and air quality control, risk assessment, solid and hazardous waste problems and controls, water, sewage, plumbing, bioterrorism and security, and ocean dumping, among others. With its companion, this reference provides a convenient first-stop resource for professionals in the environmental sciences or for administrators, policymakers, and teachers; it is also suitable as a college text. Koren (emeritus, environmental health science, Indiana State University) and Bisesi (environmental and occupational health science, Medical College of Ohio, among other affiliations) have brought the material up-to-date. Facts and data come from the most recent federal government documents, and cited rules and regulations are those that will be in effect through the early 2000s; for information in rapidly changing areas, readers are referred to appropriate sources. Each volume contains indexes for both volumes. Co-published with the National Environmental Health Association. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
