Beschreibung:
This invaluable volume, the third in the series Air Pollution Reviews, addresses particular questions relating to air pollution and its effect on health, rather than just providing an overall perspective. It deals with the impact of nasal disease on lung exposure, how pollutants are distributed within the lung, and the uncertainties with regard to defining the dose to the lung. It takes a tangential look at the lung dose by exploring the possibility of obtaining clues from occupational medicine.
