"This second edition reflects the expansion and evolution of the field with the addition of more than 8500 new terms, including new terminology related to equipment and environmental control, new and emerging diseases, hazardous chemicals, and bioterrorism and emergency response. It includes definitions relating to almost every area of environmental science and preventative medicine. All definitions are supplemented with cross-referenced synonyms, acronyms, and abbreviations to provide the most complete information possible for each term, and more than 1000 computer-generated illustrations are provided to visually depict the concepts in the book. In addition, it provides general background information in related subject areas such as anatomy, biology, chemistry, genetics, geology, microbiology, and physiology as they relate to environmental issues. The resource directory includes listing for organizations, civic groups, associations, and companies involved with the environmental field."
