Emphasizing the impact of air toxins and contaminants on human health, this Second Edition examines the latest research from the epidemiology to the cellular mechanisms underlying cardiopulmonary responses to air pollution. This guide offers chapters that address the basic biology, techniques, and clinical practices used to monitor and assess acute and chronic pollutant responses; the effects of specific air toxins and contaminants on various populations chronically exposed to these compounds; and the complex issues associated with translating science to public health policy.
Zielgruppe
Pulmonologists; chest physicians; respiratory control physiologists; respiratory therapists; pathologists; epidemiologists; clinical allergists and immunologists; occupational safety and health, civil, pollution control, environmental, and building engineers; toxicologists; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students in these disciplines.
