Air Pollutants and the Respiratory Tract (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Foster, W. Michael; Costa, Daniel L.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

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 addresses 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. It offers a current and timely review of the effects of ambient air pollution on the human cardiopulmonary system.
