Free Download Bradley C. Vaughn, "Bisphenol a and Phthalates: Uses, Health Effects and Environmental Risks "
English | ISBN: 1607417014 | 2011 | 218 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Bisphenol A is a difunctional building block of several important plastics and plastic additives. Suspected of being hazardous to humans since the 1930s, concerns about the use of bisphenol A in consumer products were regularly reported in the news media in 2008 after several governments issued reports questioning its safety, causing some retailers to remove products made of it from their shelves. Additionally, phthalates, are esters of phthalic acid and are mainly used as plasticisers (substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity). They are primarily used to soften polyvinyl chloride. This book examines both bisphenol A and phthalates discussing and presenting numerous topical and related data on these compounds and their uses, health effects and environmental risks.

Free Download Adam Mazzei, "Alcoholic Beverage Consumption and Health "
English | ISBN: 1607411601 | 2009 | 259 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Alcoholic beverages are divided into three general classes: beers, wines, and spirits. Such beverages contain ethanol, a psychoactive drug that has a depressant effect. The relationship between alcohol consumption and health has been the subject of formal scientific research since at least 1926. Moderate alcohol use seems to offer some health benefits, particularly for the heart, but too much alcohol puts a person at risk of adverse health consequences. This book provides current research on alcohol and health. Included is the relationship between alcohol and coronary artery disease and the erosion potential of alcohol on teeth. Since it is generally accepted that about one-third of all cancers are related to dietary factors, this book reviews the modulating effects of red wine and beer on heterocyclic aromatic amines carcinogenesis and how to minimise the formation of these compounds. Research on ochratoxin, a compound found in wine, is also presented due to its importance on health.

English | 2009 | pages: 390 | ISBN: 9048130271 | PDF | 3,3 mb
This book examines the policy and politics of two health risks, which have recently become prominent social issues in many countries. One is the issue of asbestos as an environmental risk to humans, and another is that of bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE), or mad cow disease as an animal disease, and of its variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) as a human food risk. Employing a set of analytical frameworks in political science, each case study explores how the issues emerged, agendas got set, alternatives were chosen, and policies were implemented. Through the analysis, it is examined how safety and public reassurance were pursued in the countries studied (Japan, the UK, France the USA, and Korea). Exploration of the successes and failures in their efforts discloses the key elements to successful health risk management.
