direct effect on health (Bell and Samet 331). Severe increases in air pollution causes wide-spread mortality in 1930 in Belgium; in 1948 in Pennsylvania and in 1952 in London (Bell
and Samet 331-332). The authors go on to describe various types of ambient air pollution and how epidemiological studies are conducted. The sources and health effects of the major air
pollutants are described, such as particulate matter; sulfur dioxide; nitrogen oxides; volatile organic compounds; and carbon monoxide. Under "Lead," the authors show how government regulation can significantly affect air pollution
and subsequently improve public health. The latter half of the chapter describes the regulatory approaches taken to control air pollution. This includes technical controls as well as other approaches to
protecting public health from air pollutants. The last section indicates how air pollutants are related to other environmental problems and public health issues. The authors conclude that "...the control of
regional air pollution and of relation health consequences is intertwined with ecological health and climate change" (Bell and Samet 357). Chapter fifteen: Energy Production Energy production is integral to
human activities, but it is also a factor that can threaten public health, i.e., nuclear power plants can malfunction and release radiation; burning coal release air pollutants; etc. Energy patterns
of consumptions vary, with the industrialized countries using more than the developing countries (Rheingans 363). Various energy sources and their associated health risks are described. The decision of which energy
source to use is based on its "purpose, costs, availability and environmental and health consequences" (Rheingans 367). To illustrate this point, an "Energy Ladder" chart is provided. This indicates that
the cleaner sources of energy, i.e., solar, wind, geothermal, hydrogen cells, etc., which involve a higher degree of technology are cleaner, but more expensive than those at the bottom of
