The very word Canada often calls to mind icy mountains,
grassy fields, rushing rivers and an unlimited supply of fresh, clean air. The
truth is that many of us live in urban environments, where car exhaust and acid
rain are more familiar than icy mountains. Canadian Guide to Health and the
Environment explores some of the environmental challenges that affect the
health of Canadians every day. Informative chapters explore environment, health
and our daily life; biodiversity and Canadas living resources; major
pollutants; public health issues such as water and air quality and global
environmental issues. Truly an eye-opening read!
