Description
Front cover; Introduction; Preface; Contributors; Contents; Air Pollution and Health Effects: Evidence from Epidemiologic Studies; Particulate Dosimetry in the Respiratory Tract; Bioavailability of Particle-Associated Air Pollutants and Relationship to Cardiopulmonary Injury; Genetic Susceptibility Factors in the Cardiopulmonary Response to Air Pollution; Air Pollutants, Epithelial Surfaces, and Lung Disease; Irritant Agonists and Air Pollutants: Neurologically Mediated Respiratory and Cardiovascular Responses. Signal Transduction and Cytokine Expression in Particulate Matter (PM)-Induced Airway RemodelingChronic Exposure and Susceptibility to Oxidant Air Pollutants; Pulmonary Toxicity of Occupational and Environmental Exposures to Fibers and Nano-Sized Particulate; Biological Airborne Pollutants; Combustion Emissions: Contribution to Air Pollution, Human Exposure and Risk to Cancer, and Related Effects; Air Pollution, Public Health, and Regulatory Considerations; Index; Back cover.
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.
