More than 40 chapters cover asbestos, asthma, carbon monoxide, pesticides, food contaminants, indoor/outdoor air pollutants, noise pollution, water pollutants, cancer, ionizing radiation, and more. Ten new chapters cover chemical and biological terrorism, food irradiation, arsenic, gasoline, preconception and prenatal exposures, metals, and more. Includes new chapters on threats to children?s environmental health in developing countries, environmental health advocacy and risk assessment.
