Taking an evidence-based approach along with a dose of healthy skepticism, this new edition of a paradigm-shaking book brings together, in one place, a broad range of hot-button scientific topics concerning the threats to the quality of human life. This book dispels environmental myths by measuring the barometers of environmental health--cancer death rates; birth and infant mortality rates; air, water, and noise pollution; hazardous wastes; chemicals in food; pesticides; accidents and occupational health; sanitary sewage and waste water treatment; disease patterns; and more.
