<div>Completely revised and expanded, the new 3rd edition is the comprehensive AAP guide to the identification, prevention, and treatment of pediatric environmental health problems.<br><br><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt">From playground to classroom, at home and across town, environmental hazards are all around us – an unfortunate fact of modern life. And no one is more vulnerable to the adverse health effects these hazards can cause than our children. It’s no wonder that environmental hazards are among parents’ top health concerns for their children. Yet little time is spent training physicians and other caregivers to recognize, prevent, and treat ailments resulting from exposure to harmful substances and environments. </p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt"></p><p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt">This comprehensive guide puts critical children’s health information and answers to parents’ questions at your fingertips.
