Handbook of Pediatric Environmental healthˇAmerican Academy of
Pediatricsˇ1999ˇpp 420ˇUS $44.95  The Handbook of Pediatric Environmental Health is the only comprehensive
guide to the identification, prevention and treatment of pediatric environmental health
problems. The handbook speaks of how though environmental hazards are among parents’
top health concerns for their children, very little time is spent training physicians to
recognize and treat ailments resulting from exposure to harmful substances and
environments. The book aims to cover this very gap by providing insights and training to
physicians in the field of pediatric environmental health. The topics reviewed in the
handbook cover more than 30 chapters and include prevention and treatment of hazards,
including asbestos, radiation, UV rays, pesticides, pollution, lead, mercury, tobacco,
electric and magnetic fields, noise, food contaminants, and more. Pediatricians are also
given guidelines on how to recognise acute pulmonary hemorrhage in infants exposed to
toxigenic moulds. The handbook is a must for pediatricians who want to examine the various
environmental health issues concerning children.
