Description
Book SynopsisThis new edition of Occupational and Environmental Medicine concentrates more on the newer kinds of occupational disease including those (like RSI and pesticide poisoning) where exposure and effects are difficult to understand.
Trade Review“It is extremely good value for its price as each chapter has been extensively researched and updated and has suggestions and references for further reading to explore the subject material in more detail.” (Journal of Occupational Medicine, 30 May 2013)
