Description: "This book addresses hot-button issues like global warning, nuclear energy, electromagnetic fields, and alternative health practices. It also provides risk assessment tools and techniques to help readers examine issues." "This book is a great resource for environmental science professionals and a thought-provoking textbook for students in medicine and public health, the social sciences, earth science, and other areas. Most of all, it's a reference for concerned officials and citizens who want a clear, unbiased perspective on environmental issues in order to separate scientific fact from alarmist propaganda"--Jacket.
