Synopsis

Neurotoxic substances that are found on the job and even in the home pose a great public health threat. The full scope of this threat is made clear in this volume, which reviews US Federal research, testing, monitoring, and regulatory programmes conducted by leading agencies such as NIOSH, the EPA, OSHA and CDC. Economic considerations associated with testing and regulatory programmes are also evaluated. Numerous illustrations combined with facts clarify what neurotoxins are, how they affect the brain, how government agencies and policies regulate chemicals, how to test for and monitor neurotoxins, and how to assess risks.
