Environment and health WHO publication
292 tains a very useful collection of abstracts providing an up to date evaluation of a variety of topics.
Environment and Health WHO Publication, 1990, 154 pp. Price: Sw, ft. 26.00. The proceedings of the First European Conference on Environment and Health, held in Frankfurt, 7-8 December 1989. A description of the European Charter on Environment and Health identifying principles and strategies for a firm commitment to action.
Diffusion of Contaminants in the Ocean, R.V. Ozmidov Kluwer Academic Publishers Group, Dordrecht 1990, 283 pp. Price: UK £89.00. Translated from the Russian version by I. Leikin. A monograph summarizing results obtained by the author and other researchers. Papers concern theoretical results combined with the data obtained from diffusion experiments with artificial tracers. Practical recommendations are given on how to compute the behaviour of contaminants in various hydrometeorological conditions. Topics covered: the elements of contaminant-diffusion theory; diffusion of contaminants from localised sources and distributed sources in the ocean; practical methods for calculating contaminant diffusion in the ocean. Useful data are provided for the Atlantic Ocean, Baltic, Black and Caspian seas and L. Baikal. Although an expensive book the mathematical presentation is balanced by field data; most references tend to be old (e.g. pre-1983) and refer to Russian publications.
Environmental Hygiene 11, edited by N.H. Seemayer and W. Hadnagy. Springer Verlag 1990, 273 pp. Price: DM 98.00. A multi-authored book which considers mutagenic and carcinogenic activity of environmental chemicals; specific effects of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr); special 'biological indicators' for screening environmental contaminants; monitoring of indoor/outdoor air quality; assessment of exposure to environmental and occupational chemicals in man (aldehydes, cadmium and lead in hair, lead exposure, benzene, tolulene, cytostatic drugs); epidemiology studies on health effects by environmental pollution; influence of atmospheric pollutants on macrophage structure and function; aerosol inhalation studies on deposition and clearance; environmental chemicals and lung cancer; strategies and policy of environmental control.
