Dioxins and health including other persistent organic pollutants and endocrine disruptors

This text offers the most respected book available for scientific informationabout dioxins, dibenzofurans, and PCBs. The new edition combines chapters on the classical dioxins and PCBs with new and emerging toxic pollutants. This edition also updates the science involved in the dioxin and PCB literature whileadding new chapters on toxic pollutants such as brominated flame retardants, phthalates, and perfluorinated chemicals. A comprehensive resource, this book provides, in one volume, essential information about these compounds written by some of the most respected and cited scientists in their fields.
