Written by a physician-toxicologist after examining
some 8,000 patients over a 25-year span, this book is a must for every
person asking the question “Why?” Why did I get sick? Why is
the cancer rate so high? Why was this child born with birth defects?
Chemical Exposure and Disease provides
investigative and diagnostic techniques for the medical, legal and lay
communities in an easy-to-read manner. the book gives case-reports
for all body systems, from the central nervous system, pulmonary, gastrointestinal
to reproductive. The book covers inherently dangerous industries,
including asbestos, plastics, construction, paints, automotive and waste
disposal.
Pesticides are covered in depth, explaining the
toxicology and giving case reports. Examples of chemicals causing
endocrine-disruption, immunological dysfunction, neurological damage, cancer
and birth defects are discussed.
Extensive bibliographic sources are provided,
including historical references, dispelling the notion that “more studies
are needed” before we can take action. Chemical Exposure and
Disease is a must for all activists, lay and professional, who
want corrective action and prevention.
