The book, which records the conclusions and recommendations of an international working group, cites well over 300 studies in an effort to settle controversies concerning which suspected risks are unsubstantiated, which are substantiated, and which preventive actions are necessary, whether in the design of equipment or the advice given to pregnant women.
