About the Book

This comprehensive textbook specifically addresses the issue of occupational health in countries with minimal resources. Extensive industrial and agricultural growth is taking place in these countries, resulting in an urgent need for the provision of readily available and accessible health care to the working population. Their special concerns and priorities need to be indentified: for example acute pesticide poisoning is a major concern, whereas in richer nations, concern is about chronic effects of pesticides. The contributors to this book all have a particular interest in these problems and are drawn from both developing and industrialized parts of the world. This book should serve as a valuable source of reference for all occupational health professionals, from academics and physicians to nurses and hygienists, and is appropriate for postgraduate students of occupational health worldwide.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Organization of occupational health services: occupational health services in developing countries; occupational health services for agricultural workers; occupational health services for small-scale industries; multinationals and occupational health services; occupational health and international agencies; the economics of occupational health services.

Part 3 Special occupational health issues: pesticides; acute pesticide poisoning in developing countries; heat; occupational lung diseases - mineral dusts; occupational lung diseases - vegetable dusts; endemic diseases; migrant workers; the export of industrial hazards to developing countries; environmental standards at the workplace; accidents at work.
