In the post World War II period, modern societies have developed numerous heterogeneous synthetic organic compounds released into the environment and human habitats either deliberately or by industrial accidents. The threats posed by these contaminants and other hazardous wastes to human health and the health of other species in the environment are addressed in this book. Case studies of contaminated communities and the struggle for justice are presented in a comparative cross-cultural perspective.
