Industry reviews
Environmental dangers may be as obvious as you think: consider these case histories and a focus by Rapp, a specialist in environmental medicine. From an ‘antsy' child's puzzling school behavior, traced to disinfectant aerosol spray used in the nursery school, to a child's hidden allergy to a new carpet at school, this helps parents track down hidden problems and also provides easy, inexpensive remedies to health problems which could cause asthma, hyperactivity, and learning problems.
