Toxic air pollution. A comprehensive study of non-criteria air pollutants
This text contains a description of the Airborne Toxic Element and Organic Substances (ATEOS) project's design, results, and conclusions. The ATEOS project was a cooperative study conducted for the state of New Jersey to establish quantitative information relating to human exposure to toxic air pollutants. The book is a compilation of six chapters written by the individual participating researchers about their respective portions of the study, accompanied by an introductory study design chapter and final overview chapter. While the format varies somewhat from chapter to chapter (e.g., some provide a chapter summary at the end, others do not), the text is generally well written and provides the reader with an awareness of what was planned, what was accomplished, what the results imply, and (to some extent) what might be done differently in future studies. As such, this book provides a useful primer on executing such a study, while also documenting the scientific accomplishments of the ATEOS project.
