Beryllium, Cadmium, Mercury, and Exposures in the Glass Manufacturing Industry (IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks Volume 58) pdf
Description

Evaluates the carcinogenic risk to humans posed by exposure to selected metals and their compounds. Separate monographs are presented for beryllium and beryllium compounds, cadmium and cadmium, compounds, and mercury and inorganic and methylmercury compounds. Because several metallic salts and pigments are used in the manufacture and coloring of certain glass products, the book also evaluates the carcinogenic risk posed by exposures in the glass manufacturing industry. More than 1200 references to the recent literature are included.

The first monograph evaluates biological and epidemiological data on metallic beryllium beryllium-aluminium and -copper alloys, and some beryllium compounds. Data from studies in humans and several well-designed animal investigations support the conclusion that beryllium and beryllium compounds are carcinogenic to humans. The monograph on cadmium and cadmium compounds gives particular attention to new analyses of epidemiological cohorts and Download Beryllium, Cadmium, Mercury, and Exposures in the Glass Manufacturing Industry (IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks Volume 58) for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

Toxic Exposures pdf
Description

The increase in environmentally induced diseases and the loosening of regulation and safety measures have inspired a massive challenge to established ways of looking at health and the environment. Communities with disease clusters, women facing a growing breast cancer incidence rate, and people of color concerned about the asthma epidemic have become critical of biomedical models that emphasize the role of genetic makeup and individual lifestyle practices. Likewise, scientists have lost patience with their colleagues' and government's failure to adequately address environmental health issues and to safeguard research from corporate manipulation.Focusing specifically on breast cancer, asthma, and Gulf War-related health conditions-"contested illnesses" that have generated intense debate in the medical and political communities-Phil Brown shows how these concerns have launched an environmental health movement that has revolutionized scientific thinking and policy.
