Water Contamination and Health (eBook, ePUB)

Integration of Exposure Assessment, Toxicology, and Risk Assessment

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume examines every potential means of exposure to water contaminants, provides in-depth discussions on toxicology, and explains up-to-date techniques for evaluating human health risk. It develops a methodology for assessing the cumulative absorbed dose of contaminants through all routes of exposure, including ingestion, inhalation and dermal. Federal and state efforts to monitor and treat water are examined.
