This enormously complex question involves historical, social, political, and scientific issues--and has a major impact on national policy decisions and regulatory activities. This unique book explores the history of occupational disease in the American workplace. Beginning with the centuries-old belief of disease as an acceptable and unavoidable by-product of industrial expansion, it moves to current methods of diagnosis, control and prevention. You will find in-depth coverage of:\u003cbr\u003e * the growth of federal responsibility for occupational risks\u003cbr\u003e * the evolution of mandatory health standards\u003cbr\u003e * risk assessment and federal policy 1970-1990\u003cbr\u003e * case studies of lead, asbestos, vinyl chloride, silicosis and byssinosis and steps taken to control or eliminate these conditions\u003cbr\u003e Although the exact numbers are disputed, the Office of Technology Assessment today estimates about 6,000 deaths annually due to workplace injuries and about 100,000 deaths due to occupational illness. This book is vital for all physicians, industrial hygienists, safety professionals, nurses, lawyers, government policy makers, and others who are continually working to reduce these figures. It points the way to better methods of detection and control.innovative diagnostic techniques.improved epidemiological methodology.and a full understanding of government, labor and management's responsibilities to the health of their workers.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eHistorical Perspective on Government Responsibility for Occupational Health.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Evolution of Mandatory Standards.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Risk Assessment and Federal Policy, 1970-1990.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lead.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Asbestos.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Free Silica (SiO2).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Vinyl Chloride.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cotton Dust.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Chemistry [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Chemistry\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Chemistry%20%5BPN%5D%22\"\u003ePN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52286381555992,"sku":"9780471284079","price":121.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471284079.jpg?v=1781550903","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/response-to-occupational-health-hazards-a-historical-perspective-hardback-9780471284079","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
