Environmental Health - Indoor Exposures, Assessments and Interventions (Hardcover)

In this new book, readers will gain an understanding of the breadth of research in the area of indoor exposure assessment. Research focusing on the indoor environments demonstrates that building occupants are exposed to a unique mixture of pollutants of chemical and biological origin. This book explores recent research on these unique exposures, the relevance of the indoor environment, and methods to control these exposures. 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.
