Additional environmental health hazards discussed to a lesser extent are occupational health issues, radiation hazards, air quality, food sanitation, noise, and housing issues. The 462 references included in the review are contained in the bibliography which divides the references into these areas: general environmental health; water; wastewater and excreta disposal; solid wastes; pesticides, pests, and pest control; radiation; occupational health; air quality; food sanitation; noise; and housing. The format for each entry is author, title, source or publisher, date of publication, and annotation. (YLB)
