Haunted Housing: How Toxic Scare Stories are Spooking the Public Out of House and Home (Paperback)

Posted by:  :  Category: Asbestos Books, Related Story

Focusing on how toxic scare stories are literally spooking the general public out of house and home, Haunted Housing is a compelling expose of the fears and realities of radon, lead, asbestos, and electromagnetic fields. Haunted Housing is a manual for buyers and sellers of homes, regulators, legislators, and public policy analysts. Haunted Housing is sensible, scholarly, skeptical, pragmatic, and wonderfully well written for the non-specialist general reader. When the media constantly bombards the public with scare stories about the effects of substances on our families and homes (and a network of federal bureaus and regulations further fuel the hysteria), Haunted Housing stands alone as a clarion appeal to common sense and the application of scientific reasoning. — Midwest Book Review

Moore argues that we need to apply risk/benefit analysis to the exaggerated claims being made today.
