In its 40 year history, âHunter's Diseases of Occupationsã has become the classic text on diseases caused by work. It is not a textbook of occupational medicine looking at how to change practices in the workplace, but is for clinicians dealing with specific patients.
As well as providing outlines for the assessment and treatment of individual patients, the 9th edition now also includes comprehensive coverage of 'environmental' diseases arising from industrial and agricultural activity. While continuing to cover the 'traditional' disorders, new areas of concern are also included, such as disorders connected with high-tech electronics industries and the effects of high levels of pesticides or hormones in the environment.
A brand new, internationally-renowned team of editors and contributors provides an international dimension to the new edition.
