Tragic Failures: How and Why We Are Harmed by Toxic Chemicals

New York, US: Oup Usa (2017)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

A world awash in little understood chemicals tragically harms adults and children alike. Laws keep health agencies in the dark about toxicants, slow, well motivated research hampers protections, and strenuous vested opposition exacerbates the harm. How science is used in the tort law can facilitate or frustrate redress of harm. This book recommends better approaches.
