Environmental Exposure And Health (The Sustainable World)

Beschreibung:

Current environmental management policies aim to achieve a harmonious
balance, between the development of economic resources and the
preservation of the environment, with the ultimate goal of reaching
sustainability, while improving the health, safety and prosperity of the
population. This approach involves: taking acceptable risks in terms of
the environment, human health and the economy, an interdisciplinary
activity that requires close cooperation between several scientific and
engineering fields. This volume features contributions from health
specialists, social and physical scientists and engineers, originally
presented at the 'First International Conference on Environmental
Exposure and Health'. The papers included cover areas such as: Air
exposure modelling and assessment; Indoor air quality and exposure;
Emerging water contaminants: environmental fate and health effects;
Exposure-dose reconstruction; Biomarkers in exposure studies; Chemical
mixtures and exposure; Health risk analysis; Exposure monitoring and
modelling; Environmental impact and exposure; and Communication and
social issues in environmental exposure.
