Review title: Wonderful informative read for the lay person!
Product review: As a mother and homemaker, I found The Dose Makes the Poison-3rd edition to be a good resource to determine whether everyday chemicals are a health concern for my family. The chapters on how chemicals are tested (Chapters 6, 7 and 8) were not as interesting as the rest of the book, but if anyone is using this as a college textbook, these chapters would be more important. Chapter 8 which discusses some of the major chemical spills as well as air and water pollution was very useful. I also liked reading about some of the drug recalls and how it is possible that new toxicity is found after all of the testing done before drugs are approved. Chapter 11-The Study of Risk- is absolutely necessary for everyone to read. I do wish there had been more information on cosmetics and health care products like shampoo and deodorant-maybe the next edition could include this.
