The carcinogenic potential of building materials, red meat, high-fat foods―even fruits and vegetables―is often perceived as a part of the widening array of acknowledged health risks. The sphere of health hazard concern has moved well beyond the plant and the factory. Recognition of the potential health risks in the home and places of rest and recreation has become a priority item. Health and Safety Beyond the Workplace, thirteen studies assembled by leading environmental and occupational health specialists, outlines the nature and level of exposures to harmful substances we face daily. Chronicled within a 24-hour exposure profile, here is a practical guide to the specifics of chemical and physical risks present in:
- home gardening
- home improvements and repairs
- household chemicals
- arts and crafts
- outdoor recreation
- food, alcohol, and tobacco
- potable water
- ionizing and nonionizing radiation
- indoor and outdoor air pollution
Ranging systematically from personal and community to personal practice exposures, the book assesses and identifies the risks inherent in each exposure mode and supplies preventive risk techniques. Quality of life has never depended more on the quality of safety in our air, food, and at-home and recreational environments. With Health and Safety Beyond the Workplace, you'll have an invaluable handbook to minimizing the chemical and physical hazards you may unknowingly encounter every day―right under the sink and in your backyard.
