• Description:
  The identificatin of work-or environmentally related disease is an important task for all practitioners. Thousands of chemical substances are commonly used in industry, and several hundred new substances are introduced to industrial processes each year. Unpredicted health hazards from new processes continue to emerge, and well-known toxins such as lead and certain solvents still escape surveillance and control. Equipped with an awareness and the approach outlined in this chapter, the practitioner can play an important role in the detection and prevention of occupational and environmental diseases.
