This book was released on 1996 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents findings of consultations with stakeholders from government, industry, and environmental and health organizations regarding environmental management options for tetrachloroethylene (also known as PERC) used in the dry cleaning industry. Begins with an overview of the toxicity of PERC, its uses in Canada, its releases into the environment from a life cycle management perspective, and a technical and socio-economic profile of the dry cleaning industry. Environmental management options are then discussed, including an economic analysis undertaken for each option (costs to dry cleaners and government, benefits in PERC reduction). Technical projections of PERC use are also made for four scenarios involving various intervention measures in relation to a base case (no intervention). Collateral considerations discussed regarding wastes from PERC dry cleaning, other cleaning technologies, and fabric care labelling. Recommendations are provided on options for managing the life cycle risks associated with PERC releases from the dry cleaning sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People are increasingly concerned about potential environmental health hazards and often ask their physicians questions such as: "Is the tap water safe to drink?" "Is it safe to live near power lines?" Unfortunately, physicians often lack the information and training related to environmental health risks needed to answer such questions. This book discusses six competency based learning objectives for all medical school students, discusses the relevance of environmental health to specific courses and clerkships, and demonstrates how to integrate environmental health into the curriculum through published case studies, some of which are included in one of the book's three appendices. Also included is a guide on where to obtain additional information for treatment, referral, and follow-up for diseases with possible environmental and/or occupational origins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents WHO guidelines for the protection of public health from risks due to a number of chemicals commonly present in indoor air. The substances considered in this review, i.e. benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, naphthalene, nitrogen dioxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (especially benzo[a]pyrene), radon, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, have indoor sources, are known in respect of their hazardousness to health and are often found indoors in concentrations of health concern. The guidelines are targeted at public health professionals involved in preventing health risks of environmental exposures, as well as specialists and authorities involved in the design and use of buildings, indoor materials and products. They provide a scientific basis for legally enforceable standards.
