About this book
"This book introduces the use of risk analysis as a tool for responsible environmental decision making in nanotechnology development, providing concise, yet informative, narratives on the topics of toxicology, occupational health and safety, and environmental implications of nanotechnology. This new edition presents new perspectives and provides updates on the technical, societal, and regulatory developments in the field. The text presents historical perspectives, provides an overview of current concerns, summarizes international efforts to address risk, describes methods for evaluating nanotechnology risks, and presents current and proposed approaches for managing those risks"--

Children at work
Valentina Forastieri
Provides an assessment of available information and discusses existing legislation, statistics, case studies and other sources of information as well as information on children's actual working conditions in selected occupations and its impact on their health. Includes procedures to identify hazardous conditions and guidance for the development of methods of assessment, protection of working children's health and awareness raising.
The Nalini method
Rupa Mehta
The author challenges us to start a "word detox", lose the weight of words, and connect to the "one word" that represents our true spirit.
Radon, radium, and other radioactivity in ground water
Barbara Graves
"This new book focuses on sampling and analysis, radon and radium in water supply wells, predictive models, geologic and hydrogeologic controls that influence radon occurrence, monitoring radon and other radioactivity from geologic sources and mining impacts on occurrence of radioactivity in ground water. Also discussed are occurrence, testing, treatment, and reduction of radon from groundwater. Because the most severe health hazard from indoor radioactivity results from inhalation of short-lived radioactive decay products of radon, the EPA scheduled a major conference early in 1987 on Radon, Radium, and Other Radioactivity in Ground Water-Hydrogeologic Impact and Application to Indoor Airborne Contamination. The result is this book."--Publisher description (LoC).
