Reviews for The Particulate Air Pollution Controversy. A Case Study and Lessons Learned.
"He [Phalen] focuses on the science of the topic...his delivery is aimed at nonspecialists, a difficult combination he achieves quite well. ...Phalen provides extensive references to the scientific literature for those seeking technical detail. Highly recommended." (Choice, 41:1 (2003)
