Synergic Influence of Gaseous, Particulate, and Biological
Pollutants on Human Health is a unique merger of two divergent
parts. The first part is a presentation of the existing knowledge
on the characteristics of basic air pollutants and their documented
impact on human health. The focus is on the main gaseous, airborne
particles (including fiber particles) and biological pollutants.
The first part is a literature review conducted by the authors who
are actively engaged in studying the described pollutants. The
second part contains a study of methods used for the evaluation and
prognosis of health effects to exposure to particular pollutants.
Most of the chapters of this book go beyond the well-documented,
solid facts and contain the authors' own evaluation of the utility
and limitations of particular methods, as well as their suggestions
for further studies. The reader who manages to wade through this
part is sure to understand that the main drawback of the described
methods is the impossibility to precisely assess the health effects
of exposure to the combination of a few/many air pollutants, while
one of the biggest problems is the effect of synergy. The last
chapters of the book focus on the attempts to consider the effect
of synergy and the analysis of the tedious work of many researchers
to construct the tools enabling, to some extent, the prognosis of
the health effects of simultaneous exposure to many air pollutants.
The book also reveals the synergism of pollutants and social
problems, reinforcing the adverse health effect of the population
living not only in highly industrialized areas, but also in
postindustrial areas. According to the authors, the construction of
suitable tools which would at least partially allow for the
evaluation of the collective impact of social factors and the
conglomerate of the air pollutants on health of particular
communities constitutes a great challenge and may inspire t
