      abstract = {This book offers a comprehensive examination of the  environmental health movement, which unlike many parts of  the environmental movement, focuses on ways toxic chemicals  and other hazardous agents in the environment effect human  health and well-being. Born in 1978 when Lois Gibbs  organized her neighbors to protest the health effects of a  toxic waste dump in Love Canal, New York, the movement has  spread across the United States and throughout the world.  By placing human health at the center of its environmental  argument, this movement has achieved many victories in  community mobilization and legislative reform. Here the  author, an environmental health expert describes the  movement's historical, ideological, and cultural roots and  analyzes its strategies and successes. -- Publisher's  description.},
