Explores the latest science on dioxins and other POPs, and their
impact on human health
Now in its third edition, Dioxins and Health is the most
respected reference of its kind, presenting the latest scientific
findings on dioxins, dibenzofurans, polychlorinated biphenyls and
related compounds, and their impact on human health. The book fully
examines the many toxicological effects--including
immunological, neurological, developmental, dermatological, and
cardiological--these chemicals have on health.
This Third Edition has been greatly expanded with the
latest research findings on dioxins and related compounds.
Moreover, it now includes coverage of other persistent organic
pollutants (POPs) and endocrine disruptors, including:
* Brominated flame retardants, such as polybrominated diphenyl
ethers and hexabromocyclododecane
* Perfluorinated chemicals such as perfluorooctanoic acid and
perfluorooctanesulfonic acid
* Other endocrine disrupting chemicals similar to POPs such as
bisphenol A
Readers will also learn about the latest findings on the
long-term impacts caused by the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam.
Other chapters review the Seveso disaster in Italy and the Yusho
and Yucheng rice oil poisoning incidents in Japan and Taiwan. In
addition, there is a full chapter dedicated to the dioxin poisoning
of former Ukraine President Victor Yushchenko.
All the chapters in the book have been written by leading
international experts. References at the end of each chapter guide
readers to the primary literature in the field.
Expertly organized in one volume, Dioxins and Health
offers readers quick access to essential information about dioxins
and related compounds written in clear, simple language that is
accessible to not only scientists, clinicians and public health
professionals, but also general readers.
