Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Rapp, a board-certified pediatrician with additional certifications in pediatric allergy and environmental medicine, has written this book to help parents and teachers recognize environmental illnesses and to outline steps for action in combating them. The first section describes environmentally caused illnesses and why they may be occurring. The other four sections concern sick schools and outline ways to deal with these problems. Examples of illnesses and possible treatments are included throughout the book. Two of the sections have an introductory overview, which would have benefited the other sections. The book is extensively footnoted, and there are several sections at the end-additional reading, organizations, suppliers, and so on-that readers will find helpful. It is unclear, however, whether these are appendixes. Rapp includes references to and information from another of her books, Is This Your Child? Discovering and Treating Unrecognized Allergies (Morrow, 1991). Recommended for large consumer health collections.

From Booklist
Five years ago, pediatric allergist Rapp offered parents helpful (if sometimes controversial) advice on how to recognize and respond to childhood allergies in Is This Your Child? Her new book shifts its focus to the environments--schools, public buildings, residences--in which children may be exposed to substances that can cause headaches, mood swings, and even learning disabilities. Some readers may feel Rapp overstates children's potential sensitivity to trace elements in foods, beverages, and water and to lead, light, electromagnetic energy, radon, asbestos, carpets, and common chemicals. Still, even parents who take Rapp's more emphatic warnings with a grain of salt will find plenty of useful information here on subjects such as the common symptoms of allergic reactions or the range of tests and treatments to be considered for each type of sensitivity. Written as "a wake-up call, leading to a serious attempt to curtail the spread" of environmental illness, the book provides useful information most parents would otherwise have difficulty locating.
