Opis

Written by international experts, Exposure Analysis is first complete textbook in the emerging new scientific discipline of exposure analysis. The book covers human exposure through all important pathways including air, food, water, dermal absorption, and, for children, non-food ingestion. Extensively tested for nearly a decade by students in the exposure analysis course at Stanford University, it is a comprehensive source for coverage of the environmental pollutants that affect human health. Defining this emerging discipline, this text is essential for environmental health researchers and practitioners, environmental engineers, environmental scientists, epidemiologists, toxicologists, indoor air specialists, regulatory officials, and members of the public interested in reducing their health risks from environmental pollutants.

Recenzje

“… is a new textbook  about a new field of science, the science of measuring, understanding, and predicting how humans are exposed to a variety of toxic chemicals through multiple pathways. … It covers exposure concepts, routes of exposure, multi-media pathways, mathematical models, and ends with an analysis of current policies. The reference list is extensive and up to date. This book is a must-have reference for scientists, teachers, graduate students, and non-profit staff members working in the field of toxic chemicals and human exposures. … One of the most useful aspects of the book is the large number of case studies or examples that are presented by the various authors. … I strongly recommend this book and only wish that I had it years ago.”
—Philip Dickey, in Washington Toxics Coalition, Vol. 26, No. 2, Spring 2007
