The number of substances potentially dangerous to our health and
environment is constantly increasing. Though governments have introduced
measures to protect us from this rising threat, the growth in industry
and new developments in science and technology mean that we are at
greater risk of exposure to toxic materials than at any other time in
history. The papers in this volume examine the concurrent rise of
pollutants and the regulations designed to police their use.
