Description
"The combination of scientific and institutional integrity represented by this book is unusual.
It should be a model for future endeavors to help quantify environmental risk as a basis for good decisionmaking." ?William D.
Ruckelshaus, from the foreword. This volume, prepared under the auspices of the Health Effects Institute, an independent research organization created and funded jointly by the Environmental Protection Agency and the automobile industry, brings together experts on atmospheric exposure and on the biological effects of toxic substances to examine what is known?and not known?about the human health risks of automotive emissions.
