About the Book

Dioxins are the most potent, well known, and long lasting of the persistent organic pollutants (POPS), and are of great interest in public health, toxicology, chemistry, medicine, law, and to regulatory agencies worldwide. In the years since publication of the first edition of Dioxins and Health, major advances have been made in human epidemiology as well as in animal studies. The second edition updates the science involved in the dioxin and PCB literature.

Review :
"Drs Schecter and Gasiewicz have produced yet another definitive edition of this encyclopedic work on dioxins and like chemicals...a must both to be read and used as a reference." (Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, April 2005) "It is an excellent book that will be of significant interest to many health professionals." (Journal of Environmental Quality, May-June 2004) "It is an excellent book that will be of significant interest to many health professionals as well as many others who have an interest in the topic.” (Journal of Environmental Quality, May/June, 2004) “...an excellent presentation of policy and science...it presents a large of information that is useful to scientific and medical experts, policy makers, and the general public.”(Chemical Health & Safety, November/December 2003) "It's an invaluable resource that toxicologists, epidemiologists, regulators, environmental chemists and scientists will find informative and practical in their continuing search for hazard and risk evaluation criteria.” (Veterinary and Human Toxicology, October 2003) "The editors are to be commended for authoring this second edition of a definitive work on the health effects of dioxin (the first edition was in 1994). The contributors they selected have done and excellent job at presenting the data on the health effects of dioxins and related chemicals." (Journal of Hazardous Materials, Vol. 106) "Scientists, students, and government officials seeking to know more about...a class of chemicals with an astounding impact on environmental health policy should find…[it] a valuable reference." (Environmental Health Perspectives, September 2003)
