We are confronted by global warming, Ebola, the Zika virus, lead in our water supply, enormous problems of infrastructure including aging sewer lines, water lines, electrical grids, roads and bridges, and the list goes on and on.

The author has purposely left out the science and technology and these can be found in his numerous endnotes and in his Handbooks of Environmental Health, volume 1 and volume 2, fourth edition which has been used for many many years by environmental health, public health and occupational health students and professionals. The Handbooks are recommended by the National Environmental Health Association for anyone who is seeking national Registered Environmental Health Specialist/Registered Sanitarian Credentials in the United States and elsewhere. One other source for the science and technology is the second edition of my Illustrated Dictionary and Resource Directory of Environmental and Occupational Health.
