THE SECRET LIFE OF CHEMICALS - ALFRED POULOS KA...

This book provides extensive information on the chemicals that inhabit our environment  our
food  our water and our air and the impact that they may be having on human health. The author
is a medical scientist  with training in the law. The book documents current understanding
about pesticides in food  the plastics revolution  toxic metals  air  water and electronic
waste pollutants  chemical exposure in the workplace  radiation pollutants  chemical exposure
and hearing loss  how our bodies deal with chemicals  genetic variability and the risk of
disease  the effect of chemicals on genes  mitochondria and the immune system and what we can
do about it all. Industrialisation has resulted in many thousands of chemicals  which are being
continuously developed and often escaping from where they are used into our human environment 
without us really knowing enough about them. In high dosages or with continuous small dosage 
the evidence suggests  that many of them could interfere with human health and some of them are
known to be doing so. But for the vast majority  we are left wondering whether some could be
responsible for some diseases the causes of which are inadequately understood. Every chapter is
thoroughly reinforced with several pages of references from the peer-reviewed literature.
