Over 300 chemicals are known to have an adverse impact on human health, including those common to superfund sites and covered under the toxic release inventory and the neurotoxins used in the cosmetics industry. Only those chemicals that are currently in use and have a known human health impact are included. First listed in this work are specific health problems and the chemicals that induce them. Next are common products and their chemical components. The chemicals listing gives trade names, government exposure standards, minimum risk levels, symptoms, body area likely to be affected, usages, and other data. Information is provided on tests used to establish chemical exposure and damage, and organizations and publications.Wilson, Cynthia is the author of 'Chemical Exposure and Human Health A Reference to 314 Chemicals With a Guide to Symptoms and a Directory of Organizations' with ISBN 9780899508108 and ISBN 0899508103.
