The book summarizes existing definitions of exposure, dose, and related concepts and provides the mathematical framework at the heart of these conceptual definitions. Using secondhand smoke as an example, the book illustrates how exposure analysis studies can change human behavior and improve public health. An extensive section on air pollutants considers volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), fine and ultrafine particles, and the latest personal air quality monitors for measuring individual exposure. Another detailed section examines exposures to pesticides, metals such as lead, and dioxin that may occur through multiple routes such as air, food, and dust ingestion. The book explores important aspects of dermal exposure such as the absorption of volatile organic compounds while showering or bathing and exposure through multiple carrier media. The authors describe quantitative methods that have been validated for predicting the concentrations in enclosed everyday locations, such as automobiles and rooms of the home. They also discuss existing laws and examine the relationship between exposure and national policies.
Defining the new field of exposure analysis, this book provides the basic tools needed to identify sources, understand causes, measure exposures, and develop strategies for improving public health.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Written by experts, this textbook delineates the emerging discipline of exposure analysis. Tested for nearly a decade by students in Stanford University's exposure analysis course, it contains comprehensive coverage of the environmental pollutants that affect human health. The book discusses human exposure through pathways including air, food, water, dermal absorption, and non-food ingestion. The book summarizes existing definitions of exposure, dose, and related concepts and provides the mathematical framework at the heart of these conceptual definitions. It provides the basic tools needed to identify sources, understand causes, measure exposures, and develop strategies for improving public health. Seller Inventory # 9781566706636
