Environmental Hygiene III [Paperback]

ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE III deals with the detection andevaluation of environmental pollutants as well as with theirrelevance to human health.Environmental components are important determinants of thehealth status of groups at risk and of the generalpopulation. The main objective is the early detection andidentification of hazardous substances by physical, chemicaland biological methods, risk assessment andprotection ofhuman health.Faced with these problems the volume gives an overview onthe mulifaceted aspects of environmental hygiene andmedicine. Contributions include basic and innovativeapproaches in the fields of- Experimental cell biology- Cytotoxicity testing- Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity studies- Inhalation toxicity- Human exposure monitoring- Epidemiology- Important harzardous agents- Environmental control, prevention and legislation.ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE III deals with the detection andevaluation of environmental pollutants as well as with theirrelevance to human health.Environmental components are important determinants of thehealth status of groups at risk and of the generalpopulation.
