Concern about the impact of air pollution has led governments and
local authorities across the world to regulate, among other things,
the burning of fossil fuels, industrial effluence, cigarette smoke,
and aerosols. This legislation has often followed dramatic findings
about the impact of pollution on human health. At the same time
there have been significant developments in our ability to detect
and quantify pollutants and a proliferation of urban and rural air
pollution networks to monitor levels of atmospheric
contamination.
Air Pollution and Health is the first fully comprehensive and
current account of air pollution science and it impact on human
health. It ranges in scope from meteorology, atmospheric chemistry,
and particle physics to the causes and scope of allergic reactions
and respiratory, cardiovascular, and related disorders. The book
has substantial international coverage and includes sections on
cost implications, risk assessment, regulation, standards, and
information networks. The multidisciplinary approach and the wide
range of issues covered makes this an essential book for all
concerned with monitoring and regulating air pollution as well as
those concerned with its impact on human health.
Key Features
* Only comprehensive text covering all the important air pollutants
and relating these to human health and regulatory bodies
* Brings together a wide range of issues concerning air pollution
in an easily accessible format
* Contributions from government agencies in the US and UK provide
information on public policy and resource networks in the areas of
health promotion and environmental protection
Anatomy and Histology of the Laboratory Rat in Toxicology and
Biomedical Research presents the detailed systematic anatomy of the
rat, with a focus on toxicological needs. Most large works dealing
with the laboratory rat provide a chapter on anatomy, but fall far
short of the detailed account in this book which also focuses on
the needs of toxicologists and others who use the rat as a
laboratory animal. The book includes detailed guides on dissection
methods and the location of specific tissues in specific organ
systems. Crucially, the book includes classic illustrations from
Miss H. G. Q. Rowett, along with new color photo-micrographs.
Written by two of the top authors in their fields, this book can be
used as a reference guide and teaching aid for students and
researchers in toxicology. In addition, veterinary/medical
students, researchers who utilize animals in biomedical research,
and researchers in zoology, comparative anatomy, physiology and
pharmacology will find this book to be a great resource.
