Mark J. Nieuwenhuijsen, PhD, is Research Professor at the Centre for Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL) in Barcelona, Spain. He is an expert in environmental exposure assessment, epidemiology, and health risk/impact assessment, and has authored or co-authored more than 250 peer reviewed papers.

It is hard not to be excited about this book. It can be challenging to put biology, mathematics, the healing arts, and earth sciences together in a meaningful manner that yields useful exposure assessments, but Professor Nieuwenhuisjen's team has done just that with this second edition. . . This book is remarkable in terms of its clarity and completeness.
