ENVIRONMENT HANDBOOK

Just how safe is our environment, and how much does pollution contribute to diseases such as cancer, asthma, infertility and stomach disorders? We look at the evidence to find out the safety record of pollutants and chemicals, of power cables, our water supply, VDUs, mobile phones, pesticides and our food.

An essential book for anyone not living in a glass bubble!
