For parents and practitioners concerned about environmental effects on children's health, this collection presents background material on developmental toxicity by age and developmental stage and discusses the effects of breastfeeding, taking an environmental history, and conducting a home survey of environmental hazards. It then describes methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment, and resources for more information on a variety of chemical and physical hazards, including indoor and outdoor pollutants, lead, electric and magnetic fields, tobacco smoke, food contaminants, gasoline, lead, noise, pesticides, ultraviolet light, and water pollutants. Chapters examine environments such as child care settings, waste sites, and workplaces, and include material on asthma, cancer, chemical and biological terrorism, nontherapeutic use of antibiotics in meat animals and environmental threats to children in developing nations. The volume concludes with information on communicating about environmental health. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
