Recensione

'Rodricks' book needs to be read by every medical scientist with any concern for public health issues ... It will sharpen debating skills enormously ...' Simon Wolff, New Scientist

' ... a wealth of technical material ... easy to read and follow ... a gift to the students (who) will use it.' Nature

'... those who have to apply the results of risk assessment will find that this book provides myriad information for their better understanding. Those who are involved in the process will enjoy the interesting examples and appreciate the difficulties and thoughts other colleagues have when insufficient data are challenging their activities.' Helmut Greim, Institute of Toxicology and Environmental Hygiene, Technical University of Munich

Descrizione del libro

There is much public bewilderment caused by reports of cancer-causing pesticides in apple juice and poisons emanating from nearby hazardous waste sites. This book is less of a polemic and more of a clear unbiased clarification of the scientific basis for our concerns and uncertainties. It should serve to refocus the debate.
