This volume addresses issues related to the threats to human health
from exposure to environmental pollutants in the Pacific Region,
including how to reduce the production of such pollutants and
remove or destroy them when they are produced. It specifically
explores how to monitor levels of exposure in human populations and
how to evaluate the health consequences of these exposures.
Chapters explore the relationships between air quality and asthma,
environmental contamination and breast cancer, mercury and
neurobehavioral problems, and present information on new
technologies for hazardous substance remediation.
