As concerns about the environment and environmental safety have grown significantly in recent years, so has the related terminology. This timely dictionary contains more than 7,000 entries that encompass current environmental health and safety issues. Entries were selected by contributors who are specialists in the field of environmental health and safety. These well-written definitions are a boon to technically trained individuals and interested laypersons. Concise alphabetically-arranged definitions make the VNR dictionary ideal for on-the-job reference. Some terms have multiple definitions and many of the terms are cross-referenced, to ease access. Among the disciplines represented: agronomy, biosafety, biostatistics, ecology, environmental law, epidemiology, general safety, general sanitation (food and waters as well as refuse and sewage disposal), hazardous materials control, industrial hygiene, microbiology, and radiation. Also Provided are a list of acronyms and a list of chemical abstracts service (CAS) registry numbers, the latter for readers who wish to identify a material conclusively regardless of the name or naming system used. The VNR dictionary of environmental health and safety is a valuable reference for engineers, environmentalists, industrial hygienists, attorneys in environmental law, and all safety professionals.
