He subsequently examined issues concerned with mining, nuclear power radiation hazards, meat processing, and airlines.

Nader became head of the Public Citizen Foundation in 1980. His other works include The Menace of Atomic Energy (1977,) Who’s Poisoning America? (1981,) and Winning the Insurance Game (1990.)

The documentary An Unreasonable Man (2006) chronicles Nader’s career.
