From Library Journal
Altman states that without a book such as hers, "it can be very difficult to track down" reliable information on home environmental hazards. However, The Radon Industry Directory ( LJ 3/1/89), Linda Mason Hunter's The Healthy Home ( LJ 6/15/89), The National Directory of State Agencies , edited by JoAnne DuChez and Sharon J. Marcus (Cambridge Information Group, 1988), and the Federal Regulatory Directory (Congressional Quarterly, 1986. 5th ed.), for example, already provide sufficient directory and textual information for most patrons. In the chapter on pesticides, Altman simply suggests "follow the directions for disposal on the container of the pesticide," and devotes little more than one page to biological and other alternatives. She discusses a host of pertinent federal laws regarding hazardous waste, yet neglects to mention the Environmental Protection Agency's Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) database, a widely available and useful source. Hynes's EarthRight , by contrast, is an important fact book for those seeking to understand the larger environmental picture and is a valuable source for those who wish to act. The book contains a wealth of facts, statistics, directory information, excellent recommended readings, and environmental success stories from communities across the country. One can open to almost any page and glean critical information, whether it be number of insect types presently resistant to insecticides (over 440), number of tons of plastic dumped from ships worldwide daily (450,000), or the number of U.S. households currently using bottled water for drinking and cooking (1 out of every 15). This virtual almanac of environmental concerns should answer most typical questions and, in the process, educate many a reader. Highly recommended.
