To help wastewater workers protect their health, biologists Gerardi (Pennsylvania State U.) and Zimmerman (Lycoming College) review pathogens found in wastewater, their sources and diseases, disease transmission, the fate of pathogens in wastewater collection and treatment systems, the body's defenses against infection, personal hygiene measures, protective equipment, and immunizations. They include a glossary without a pronunciation guide. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR More Reviews and Recommendations MICHAEL H.
