Review “This book is a collection of clinical and research findings related to allergies, a commonly treated condition. … A review of author affiliations sheds light on likely readers: those in hygiene, dermatology, biofunctional chemistry, immunotoxicology, occupational medicine, and others. It will likely be read by professionals and researchers in the occupational health sector, too. … The editors have met the challenge by insisting on the compilation of about 130 pages of densely referenced material pertinent to immunological toxicology.” (J.
