1967 Evaluations of Some Pesticide Residues in Food

This volume has the limited objective of 'highlighting' new developments and findings in the field of industrial hygiene. It consists of a number of review articles which, unlike so many of the uncritical reviews of subjects in the scientific press, give reasoned, expert opinions on the current (1966/67) understandings of the subjects. Some chapters, particularly that on noise, give essentially American viewpoints which may not be wholly applicable to the British scene. Others, notably those dealing with analysis and toxicology, suffer from having subjects too broad for satisfactory review. Those on radiation, both ionizing and non-ionizing, hot environments, ergonomics, and air pollution are excellent. Industrial Hygiene Highlights will be a valuable addition to the library of those who wish to keep abreast of trans-atlantic thought, and should be bought as such, rather than as a textbook on the subject.
