Description:

This book reveals the hidden health dangers in many of the seemingly innocent products we encounter every day--a tube of glue in a kitchen drawer, a bottle of bleach in the laundry room, a rayon scarf on a closet shelf, a brass knob on the front door, a wood plank on an outdoor deck. A compelling exposeacute;, written by a physician with extensive experience in public health and illustrated with disturbing case histories,How Everyday Products Make People Sickis a rich and meticulously documented account of injury and illness across different time periods, places, and technologies.
