Compelling evidence suggests that human exposure to some toxic chemicals can have lifelong and even intergenerational effects on reproduction and development.
Generations at Risk presents compelling evidence that human exposure to some toxic chemicals can have lifelong and even intergenerational effects on human reproduction and development. The result of a collaboration involving public health professionals, physicians, environmental educators, and policy advocates, this book examines how scientific, social, economic, and political systems may fail to protect us from environmental and occupational toxicants. It is an important sourcebook for those concerned about their own health and that of their loved ones, as well as for medical and public health workers, community activists, policymakers, and industrial decision makers.

This book is...an attempt to come to grips with the increasing toxification of the biosphere.
--Charles Schweighauser, Boston Book ReviewPresents evidence that human exposure to some toxic chemicals can have lifelong and even intergenerational effects on human reproduction and development. The result of a collaboration involving public health professionals, physicians, environmental educators and policy advocates, this book examines how scientific, social, economic and political systems may fail to protect people from environmental and occupational toxicants. The authors focus on classes of chemicals that people may be exposed to at work, at home or in their communities. These include toxic metals, organic solvents, pesticides and endocrine disruptors. In addition to providing scientific information with which to assess the health risks of many chemicals, the book provides a guide to late-1990s regulatory system and resources for action.
