The authors provide the first comprehensive portrait of the anatomy of occupational sex segregation, casting new light on some long-standing empirical puzzles in the study of gender inequality.

Occupational epidemiology has emerged as a distinct subdiscipline of epidemiology and occupational medicine, addressing fundamental public health and scientific questions relating to the specification of exposure-response relationships, assessment of the adequacy of occupational exposure guidelines, and extrapolation of hazardous effects to other settings. This book reviews the wide range of principles and methods used in epidemiologic studies of working populations. It describes the historical development of occupational epidemiology, the approaches to characterizing workplace exposures, and the methods for designing and implementing epidemiologic studies. The relative strengths and limitations of different study designs are emphasized. Also included are more advanced discussions of statistical analysis, the estimation of doses to biological targets, and applications of the data derived from occupational epidemiology studies to disease modeling and risk assessment. The volume will serve both as a textbook in epidemiology and occupational medicine courses and as a practical handbook for the design, implementation, and interpretation of research in this field.

This edited volume features contributions that were originally presented at a State of the Science Colloquium sponsored by the Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR) and the International Committee on Wireless Communication Research. Contributions report on the public health impact of wireless communication technologies, including radiofrequency (RF) dosimetry, RF epidemiology, RF toxicology, and clinical and in vitro studies on interference between these technologies and medical devices. WTR has collected and edited papers from each of the presenters, and collected updates to be appended to the original papers.
