Jones & Bartlett learning, Publish!

Given the success and positive reviews of the first edition, Friis has kept intact the features that work well. The author has instead focused on completing a thorough update of tables, figures and data. This best-selling offering from the APHA/Jones & Bartlett Learning Essential Public Health series is a clear and comprehensive study of the major topics of environmental health, including: the background of the field and “tools of the trade” (environmental epidemiology, environmental toxicology, and environmental policy and regulation), environmental diseases (microbial agents, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation), and applications and domains of environmental health (water and air quality, food safety, waste disposal, and occupational health). With a straightforward, non-technical approach, the author has included many examples and illustrations of environmental health issues. Perfect for the beginning student as well as the experienced health professional, each chapter concludes with study questions and exercises to engage the reader in further study.
