"Handy and authoritative.”—Whole Earth Review

"The best book of its kind for the layman. The general chapters are a good overview of a wide-ranging subject but put environmental toxins into their proper perspective. The individual entries are supported by an excellent glossary and full index.”—Times Higher Education Supplement

"This well-organized book informs in clear contexts what we, as consumers and we as citizens, can do for a healthful environment from one's home to one's planet.”—Ralph Nader

Outstanding Reference Book of 1993, The American Library Association
