Hazardous Gases: Risk Assessment on Environment and Human Health examines all relevant routes of exposure, inhalation, skin absorption and ingestion, and control measures of specifics hazardous gases resulting from workplace exposure from industrial processes, traffic fumes, and the degradation of waste materials and how they impacts the health and environment of workers. The book examines the risk assessment and effect of poisonous gases on the environment human health. It also covers necessary emergency guidelines, safety measures, physiological impact, hazard control measures, handling and storage of hazardous gases. Each chapter is formatted to include an introduction, historical background, physicochemical properties, physiological role discussing mechanisms of toxicity, its effect on human health as well as environment, followed by case studies and recent research on toxic gases. Hazardous Gases: Risk Assessment on Environment and Human Health is a helpful resource for academics and researchers in toxicology, occupational health and safety, and environmental sciences as well as those in the field who work to assess and mitigate the impact of toxic gases on the work environment and the health of the workforce.

Hazardous Chemicals: Overview, Toxicological Profile, Challenges, and Future Perspectives aims to provide comprehensive coverage of topics such as the routes of exposures, mechanism of toxicity, hazard control measures, handling and storage, emergency guidelines, and safety measures. This book also presents an overview of risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication. The book is organized into specific classifications of chemical hazard: pesticides, fertilizers, insecticides, automotive, paint and paint solvents, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing solvents, dyes, cleaning agents, and radioactive products. It discusses the health risk, environmental impact, and management strategies for these toxic substances. The inclusion of case studies provide practical examples to researchers, academics, graduate and postgraduate students in toxicology, environmental science, and those in industry engaged in the evaluation of toxic substances and human health concerns.
