This volume uses three case studies involving the dangers of lead, coal, and asbestos to explore the role of scientists in the discovery and regulation of occupational hazards. The cases draw upon detailed historical evidence, and illustrate the factors and conditions that make possible--or deter--the development of responsible, ethical behavior on the part of scientists and engineers.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The references to all six chapters are unusually complete and well presented. The book is very sobering, and should be read by regulators, industry and association 'health and safety' personnel, and by anyone sincerely concerned with human exposures to suspect or known toxic materials." --Journal of Hazardous Materials
