Environmental Determinants of Human Health de Jozef M. Pacyna

Environmental Determinants of Human Health: Molecular and Integrative Toxicology

Editat de Jozef M. Pacyna, Elisabeth G. Pacyna
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 oct 2016
Polluted air and contaminated food and water are major causes of human health deterioration, but public health policy has long struggled to effectively address these concerns. This timely book--written for a wide audience of policy makers, researchers, and general readers--synthesizes what we already know about environmental hazards, identifies the gaps in our knowledge, and provides a roadmap for reducing human exposure to environmental pollution.
With contributions from leading experts, Environmental Determinants of Human Health examines numerous pollutants, both inorganic and organic, in the context of their human health impacts. Individual chapters explore exposure pathways, macroeconomic impacts of human health deterioration, technological and non-technological methods for reducing exposures, monetary and non-monetary benefits from exposure reduction, and risk communication and awareness, including citizen participation approaches.
This volume is acrucial text for policy makers requiring scientific justification for the development of new environmental regulations, scientists researching public health and environmental contamination, and members of the public interested in human health issues.

Notă biografică

Jozef M. Pacyna 

Jozef M. Pacyna is a Research Director of the Norwegian Institute for Air Research in Kjeller, Norway and Professor of Chemistry at the Gdansk University of Technology, Gdansk, Poland. He was awarded a Visiting Professorship at the University of Michigan (1992-1993), the Chalmers 150th Anniversary Visiting Professor at the Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden (1994 – 1997), and a 2006 Visiting Professorship at the Yale University. 

Prof. Pacyna’s expertise is on biogeochemical cycling and fluxes of mercury, other heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and radionuclides in the environment. Another field of his expertise is the assessment of environmental and socio-economic impacts of energy production and other anthropogenic sources on climate change and human welfare. He has carried out more than 30 EU projects within these topics. Prof. Pacyna has also been active in the implementation of environmental strategies and policies defined within international agreements on emission and flux reductions, including cost-benefit analysis of this implementation. He provided a scientific justification for the establishment of an UN Convention on reduction of mercury contamination, signed in Minamata in 2013. 

Prof. Pacyna is the author of more than 450 scientific publications, including more than 120 papers in peer-reviewed journals and more than 30 books and book chapters. His works have been cited more than 7500 times, bringing his citation index H to 40. In 2012 he received Life Achievement Award for recognition of his outstanding contribution to advancing scientific knowledge of heavy metals in the environment, and their impact upon human health.

In 2010 Prof. Pacyna received the Bene Merito honorable decoration by the Minister of Foreign Affair in Poland for strengthening position of Poland in the international arena and in 2011 he was presented with the “White Tiger” award, the highest award in the Polish energy sector for outstanding achievements in energy and environment research.
