Environmental threats are occurring on a worldwide scale. Dramatic pictures of the devastating effects of natural disasters lead the nightly news. Stories of chemical spills and contaminated groundwater, deforestation and suburban sprawl, depleted fisheries and exploding human population, litter the pages of the newspapers daily. National and international policymakers are concerned about the potential impact on the health of the world’s population and on the global environment and, as a result, much progress has been made in informing the public and introducing regulations for the control of these hazards. As the first in the Essential Public Health series, Essentials of Environmental Health is a clear and comprehensive study of the major topics of environmental health including: Background of the field and “tools of the trade” (environmental epidemiology, environmental toxicology, and environmental policy and regulation). Environmental diseases (microbial agents, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation). Applications and domains of environmental health (water and air quality, food safety, waste disposal, and occupational health). In a straightforward, non-technical approach, the author has included many examples and illustrations of environmental health issues. Perfect for the beginning student as well as the experienced health professional, each chapter concludes with study questions and exercises to engage the reader in further study.

Public Health environmental,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essentials of Environmental Health (Paperback)
Terribly boring. The diagrams and pictures explain everything, and the unnecessarily long chapters re-explain everything in excruciating detail. I can only read for about 25 seconds before falling asleep. But it is very thorough and makes things easy to understand. The diagrams are helpful, and the glossary in the back is nice. Unless this book is specifically required, try to find a more interesting one!!

Great high school curricula for the homeschooled!,

This review is from: Essentials of Environmental Health (Paperback)
We are homeschooling two high school students this year and this was a perfect study! We obtained the tests and solutions manual by writing to the publisher... info@jbpub.com
I love the way it gave a brief introduction to the professional fields of study, motivating my students to explore these further and find a possible future in them as a career. It also gave them a deeper appreciation and concern for the state of our environment.

Not really worth waiting for,

This review is from: Essentials of Environmental Health (Paperback)
Waited too long for this book to arrive in an envelope with a handwritten address - as if it came from someone's home. Listed as almost, or like new - and it most certainly was not - it even had highlighting on pages, something that should automatically kick it out of that category. It was used, and overpriced. My first experience of a misrepresentation with Amazon - very disappointed.
