Environmental Hygiene II deals with the evaluation of environmental
pollutants and their relevance to human health. Main topics include
mutagenic and carcinogenic activity of environmental chemicals,
specific effects of heavy metals, special biological indicators for
screening environmental contaminants and monitoring of
indoor/outdoor air pollutants. Furthermore, assessment of exposure
to environmental and occupational chemicals in man are presented as
well as epidemiological studies on the health effects by
environmental pollution, studies of inhalation toxicology and
strategies and policy of environmental control.
ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE III deals with the detection and evaluation
of environmental pollutants as well as with their relevance to
human health. Environmental components are important determinants
of the health status of groups at risk and of the general
population. The main objective is the early detection and
identification of hazardous substances by physical, chemical and
biological methods, risk assessment andprotection of human health.
Faced with these problems the volume gives an overview on the
mulifaceted aspects of environmental hygiene and medicine.
Contributions include basic and innovative approaches 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 pollution raises serious concern worldwide about
effects on human health. Based on a recent meeting, this book
focuses on diverse aspects of environmental hygiene, dealing with
the evaluation of chemical and physical agents and their relevance
to human health. To assess the toxicity, mutagenicity and
carcinogenicity of environmental pollutants, a variety of
methodological approaches, both in vivo and in vitro, as tissue
cultures, isolated organs and animal models, were developed and are
described in detail. Data on human exposure, biological monitoring
and epidemiological studies are also included. Problems of
environmental control and legislation as well as possible
provisional steps are discussed.
