Editorial Reviews
Review
“The specialized chapters on ecotoxicology testing, formaldehyde, mineral particles in the lung, and anticarcinogens are particularly valuable. –SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY It gives a good overview on the hazardous substances and their action on the environment and human health and thus will be appreciated by both scientists and engineers who need not to be specialized in the particular field. Regarding the broad and ample information contained in this book its price seemsto be justified.
