Environmental Health: Indoor Exposures, Assessments and Interventions
Editat de Theodore A. Myatt, Joseph G. Allenen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 ian 2013
The focus of this book is on unique exposures that occur indoors, typically, but not exclusively in residences, where recent advances have been made on identification of the pollutants in indoor environments, the health effects associated with indoor or personal exposures, or interventions that can be implemented by typical occupants to mitigate exposures. The book covers a wide selection of indoor exposures to chemical and biological pollutants, including lead, phthalates, flame retardants, mold, infectious diseases, traffic-related particulate, pesticides, PCBs, VOCs, and asthma triggers (ETS, mold, cat allergen). This book is unique in that very recent research is discussed in this rapidly expanding field.

Descriere
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.
Recent advances have been made on the identification of pollutants in indoor environments, the health effects associated with indoor or personal exposures, and interventions that can be implemented by occupants to mitigate exposures. The focus of this book is on exposures that occur typically, but not exclusively, in residences. The contributors cover a wide selection of chemical and biological pollutants, including lead, phthalates, flame retardants, mold, infectious diseases, traffic-related particulate, pesticides, PCBs, VOCs, and asthma triggers. The book also includes a chapter on the plight of teachers working in PCB-contaminated schools.
