Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Protection of human health by prevention of environmental hazards has become a major concern in all European countries. This concern is reflected in the regional strategy of Health for All by the Year 2000, as developed in 1984, and in the 1989 European Charter on Environment and Health. However, despite considerable progress, most efforts are related to single sources of exposure and to a small number of 'priority' chemicals. In protecting the population against chemical hazards, attention must also be paid to the fact that subgroups are particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of certain chemicals. This hypersusceptibility may be genetically determined. Such individual predisposition to toxic effects must be taken into account in the efforts to prevent adverse effects of environmental exposures to toxic chemicals. To help address these problems the Regional Office, in co-operation with the Institute of Human Genetics and Anthropology of the Univer sity of Dusseldorf and with financial support from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety of the Federal Republic of Germany, organized a consultation in Krefeld in October 1989. The meeting was attended by 17 experts from 12 coun tries, three representatives of the host government, two representatives of other organizations and five staff members from the WHO Regional Office for Europe and WHO Headquarters. The list of participants is included as an appendix to the present volume.…

Hardback. Philippe Grandjean, Chapman & Hall. Author: Philippe GrandjeanBinding: HardbackPublished: Chapman & Hall, 1991Condition:Book: AcceptableJacket: No dust jacket - cloth/board in good conditionPages: GoodMarkings: Reading copy with markingsEcogenetics: Genetic Predisposition To The Toxic Effects Of Chemicals presents a rigorous examination of how individual genetic variations influence susceptibility to environmental toxins. This academic work details the complex interplay between human genetics and exposure to hazardous chemicals, illustrating how certain predispositions can heighten adverse health outcomes. Philippe Grandjean, a leading authority, uncovers the scientific principles underpinning ecogenetics, providing a comprehensive overview of the field's methodologies and findings. The text argues for a personalized approach to environmental health, emphasizing the critical role of genetic screening in preventing chemical-induced diseases. It instructs readers on the profound implications of genetic diversity for public health policy and risk assessment in a chemically saturated world. Hardback.…
