Product Description

The twentieth century has seen a remarkable evolution in environmental health and environmental protection concerns and concepts in the United States. Human Health and the Environment: A Turn of the Century Perspective is intended to be a commentary, suitable for a wide audience, on the broad aspects of the relationship between human health and the environment at the turn of the century. Although written from the perspective of a technically advanced society, Human Health and the Environment: A Turn of the Century Perspective addresses the different environments, and human health problems arising from these environments, in third-world and emerging societies. The book is divided into several sections, including a general introduction and discussion of epidemiological approaches, community pollution problems (air, water, solid waste, radiation), specialized environments (residential, occupational and institutional), consumer products and the food supply, and integrated pest management. It closes with a chapter related to predictions for the 21st century. The approach of Human Health and the Environment: A Turn of the Century Perspective is to examine environmental threats to human health from the perspective of sources and pathways, as well as to examine the scope of human health effects and environmental interventions, including engineering and technical, educational and legislative elements.
