Readers drawn to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, Laurie Garrett's
The Coming Plague, or Theo Colburn's Our Stolen Future will
appreciate this work by Thomas Kerns as well. The growing epidemics
of chemically induced illnesses from long-term, low-dose exposure
to toxicants in both developed and developing nations are being
studied by serious researchers. Questions are being raised as to
how societies will deal with these new problems. Kerns's book is
the first to directly address the ethical dimension of managing
environmental health and ubiquitous toxicants (such as solvents,
pesticides, and artificial fragrances). The work includes recent
medical literature on chronic health effects from exposure to
toxicants and the social costs of these disorders; relevant
historic and human rights documents; recommendations for public
policy and legislation; and primary obstacles faced by public
health advocates. College instructors and students, victims of
chemical sensitivity disorders, public health workers, scientists,
and policymakers who are interested in the challenge of these
emerging epidemics will find Kerns's text highly informative.
