Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This is a handbook on the toxicity of chemicals in our homes, communities, and workplaces and their effects on reproductive health and development. The authors are public health workers, physicians, policy advocates, and environmentalists. The text is arranged in three sections: an introduction to human reproductive systems and areas vulnerable to damage; a comprehensive review of metals, organic solvents, pesticides, and endocrine disrupters in our food, air, and water and the dangers to human reproductive physiology caused by exposure even in small quantities; and an analysis of the regulatory agencies and legislation designed to protect public health and the weaknesses and failures of those approaches. Strategies are presented for assessing environmental threats in our daily lives and taking action to minimize or eliminate them. The book's scholarly presentation, which includes statistics, illustrations, tables, anecdotal information from actual cases, and 60 pages of references, is most appropriate for an audience with some understanding of scientific terminology and research methods. Recommended for academic libraries.AIrwin Weintraub, Brooklyn Coll. Lib., NY
