Cheryl Simon Silver and Dale S. Rothman Researchers around the world are beginning to connect industrial pollution to long-term direct and indirect health problems in humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. This report suggests that what may be needed to solve or prevent such problems in the future is a fundamental restructuring of industrial economies--not just the control of individual pollutants. Toxics and Health summarizes the views and information exchanged during a three-day workshop for multidisciplinary experts from the United States, the Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, and Brazil. Recognizing industry's key role in economic development, participants grappled with what to do about the toxic byproducts of vital industrial activity. This report presents compelling evidence that deliberate steps are needed to keep hazardous materials out of the environment. 1995 / 75 pages |
