Oxley -- Governmental Regulations / A. A. Jensen and P. Grandjean. The authors of the different chapters of this book have each conducted original research on organolead compounds. Some chapters contain new or hitherto unpublished information. Each chapter is, in my opinion, an outstanding review which may be read and appreciated by itself. Interpretation may vary, however, and this review book attempts to cover major viewpoints, particularly on health significance of organolead exposure. |
