In this valuable guide, Larsen (Facing the Final Mystery) breaks her multifaceted subject into seven major segments and 53 chapters, from "Health Concerns and Environmental Triggers," like chemical sensitivity, to health-endangering "Consumer Products" such as Teflon and antibacterial soap. Chapters begin with definitions of each danger, their physiological impact, and accepted treatments or permissible exposure amounts. Following this are Q&A segments, where relevant questions are posed in bold and clearly answered with supporting statistics. A term glossary and a directory of health organizations close out the work. Highly recommended for public libraries.
