Produktbeschreibung

Why the "Second Edition" is the must-have guide for all pulmonologists and particle research scientists: STAY INFORMED - nine brand new chapters cover recent developments and research, with several chapters focusing solely on the fast-developing area of man-made and naturally occurring nano-sized particles GAIN FULL UNDERSTANDING OF ALL ASSOCIATED DISCIPLINES - including topics and concerns in pulmonology and respiratory medicine, toxicology, and environmental research KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT as a disease progresses, from a distinguished team of over 40 experts who detail all stages of particle-lung interactions, from inhalation of particles to clearance from the organism LEARN MORE ABOUT FREQUENTLY NEGLECTED TOPICS - such as the beneficial developments and uses of inhaled man-made particles and reduced side-effects of alternate therapies
