Environmental Health Perspectives Volume 108, Number 10, October 2000
Environmental Health Perspectives October 2000 On The Cover:The human face of environmental health is played out every day in the communities in which we live. Our susceptibility to the effects of toxic agents depends on many things, including our genetic disposition (see Schwartz et al., pp. A468 & 949), the chemical agents involved (see Blount et al., p. 979), and the environment in which we live and play (see NIEHS News, p. A450).
