This indispensible new text is a comprehensive treatment of health and safety problems in agriculture and related industries. Respiratory health risks, grain dust exposures, occupational asthma, chronic lung disease, chemical exposures, incidence of cancer in farmers, accidents and injuries, and stress and psychiatric problems are addressed, from basic science to practical clinical aspects. This useful handbook provides a wealth of information for practicing clinicians, researchers, public health workers, those engaged in occupational health, programming, private industry, governmental public health departments, and farmers themselves.
