Mold, lead, radon, asbestos, food additives, power lines, and more: what the risks are, and how to safeguard against them.

Arsenic. Mercury. Pesticides. Dioxin. Toxic gases. Your typical hazardous waste dump, right? Wrong. These materials can be found in the home. Every day, people work, live, and play amid potentially harmful toxics-things they might not even know are there. They are exposed to these toxic substances in their homes, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, foods, and consumer products.

Now, two toxics experts with decades of experience in public health have created a book that separates the risks from the myths of everyday toxics. Comprehensive and easy-to-use, this guide provides scenarios and real-life examples-including important warning signs-that show how to identify problems and what to do about them. With Q&A segments, charts to help assess risk, and a special homebuyer's guide, What's Toxic, What's Not is a book no home should be without.

!1: Best Buy This is a must-have book.

I've never written an on-line book review but I feel so strongly about this book's message that I'm taking the time to write this one in the hopes that you'll act on it.

As a public health professional specializing in environmental health, I am always getting questions from friends, family, and the public about environmental threats to their health.

Recent examples: My water smells funny when I take showers, is this a problem for my child or me? Should I worry about living near the highway - my windowsills have black soot on them. My neighbor's wood stove smells up our house at night and I fear my father's emphysema is worsening. My employer just moved me into a new office building that stinks of chemicals and now at night my chest hurts - it's never hurt before. I love to eat fish but the media is telling me to stop - should I?

I must admit I don't have all the answers - not even close. The diversity of threats, the complexity of each threat, and the proliferation of new scientific research makes it impossible for one person to have all the most informed answers.

But Ginsberg and Toal's new book comes closer to covering all the bases--and covering them exceptionally well--than anything I've ever read.

These experts have dedicated their careers to public health. They've worked on the front lines for decades. Their vast real-world experience and far-reaching understanding of the science--coupled with a knack for translating complexity into easily digestible and practical answers--is a winning combination.

Section 5 (Tying it All Together) alone is worth the full cost of the book (which is considerably less than how much I typically spend each day commuting). Actually, the section is worth a lot more than the book cost. It's hard to believe this much useful and important knowledge comes so cheaply.

I just bought 10 copies of this book. I'm sending these new copies to some of my friends and relatives raising families, to others with health problems, and to my parents and siblings. Of course I know many more people who likely would benefit from the book. I'll send them this review and urge them to make the investment. Everyone I know will be covered.

I have no doubt they'll find this book one of the most useful purchases they've made in awhile.

The added bonus is I'll no longer need to Spent many hours trying to find answers to all their questions in writing Ginsberg and Toal now get the job done for me. on Sale!
