Particle-Lung Interactions (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Gehr, Peter; Blank, Fabian; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara; Mühlfeld, Christian

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Written by an expanded team of leading international scientists, the second edition thoroughly investigates research and therapies for managing adverse physiological effects of air-borne particles on the respiratory tract. The book examines the lung as the gateway for particle damage to organs outside the respiratory system and provide the information needed to understand and combat the numerous and varied ailments caused by inhaled particles.
