Description
This comprehensive textbook specifically addresses the issue of occupational health in countries with minimal resources. Extensive industrial and agricultural growth is taking place in these countries, resulting in an urgent need for the provision of readily available and accessible health care to the working population. Their special concerns and priorities need to be indentified: for example acute pesticide poisoning is a major concern, whereas in richer nations, concern is about chronic effects of pesticides. The contributors to this book all have a particular interest in these problems and are drawn from both developing and industrialized parts of the world. This book should serve as a valuable source of reference for all occupational health professionals, from academics and physicians to nurses and hygienists, and is appropriate for postgraduate students of occupational health worldwide.
