Given the success and positive reviews of the first edition, Friis has kept in tact the features that work well.

The author has instead focused on completing a thorough update of tables, figures and data.

Major updates:* New chapter (Chapter 14) on injuries* All Web-based sources updated throughout to include the most recent information* Expanded discussion of the history of environmental health, e.g., contributions of John Snow, Lemuel Shattuck, and Walter Reed* New case study on pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009* Coverage of recent environmental controversies, such as use of bisphenol A in plasticsThis 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:* 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). * 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.
