This is aimed at people who have a duty to manage the risks from asbestos-containing materials in premises, ie. building owners, tenants and anyone else who has any legal responsibilities for workplaces. The guidance expands on that given in the free leaflet Managing asbestos in premises, INDG223 (rev2) - it should be useful to those in more complex organizations. The new duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises, regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 (CAW), comes into force in October 2002.

People are increasingly concerned about potential environmental health hazards and often ask their physicians questions such as: "Is the tap water safe to drink?" "Is it safe to live near power lines?" Unfortunately, physicians often lack the information and training related to environmental health risks needed to answer such questions. This book discusses six competency based learning objectives for all medical school students, discusses the relevance of environmental health to specific courses and clerkships, and demonstrates how to integrate environmental health into the curriculum through published case studies, some of which are included in one of the book's three appendices. Also included is a guide on where to obtain additional information for treatment, referral, and follow-up for diseases with possible environmental and/or occupational origins.

Much of the more than 30 million tons of asbestos used in the United States since 1900 is still present as insulation in offices and schools, as vinyl-asbestos flooring in homes, and in other common products. This volume presents a comprehensive evaluation of the relation of these fibers to specific diseases and the extent of nonoccupational risks associated with them.
