The health hazards around us range from minor problems such as eye strain and skin irritation to major, more serious problems such as hearing loss, damage to foetuses and poisoning. This book in three sections is about how to minimize the health hazards in everyday life - at home, work and play. Issues covered range from polluted bathing beaches to listeria in cook-chill foods and other less well-known hazards. It investigates whether things supposed to be healthier, such as mineral water, health food, and breast feeding really are safer. Health hazards are given a hazard rating, with risk-cutting tips provided and positive suggestions for changes required to improve safety and reduce environmental hazards.
