Riassunto

'Rheumatic Diseases & the Environment' is a comprehensive, authoritative contributed volume that addresses the relationship between environmental and occupational factors, and the musculoskeletal diseases they manifest. The volume includes in-depth discussions on toxic oil syndrome, silicone-associated rheumatic disease, systemic lupus, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other areas continuing to gain profile in the public's eye. Regulatory, litigation and surveillance issues are also presented. This is the first time that all of the rheumatic conditions with an environmental/occupational origin, and conditions exacerbated by environmental/occupational factors, are compared and addressed as a unique entity.
