This volume focuses on epidemiological studies and diseases attributed to ambient and indoor air pollutants. It opens with an overview of diseases and health consequences due to air pollution. The chapters discuss health conditions such as respiratory issues, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and blood pressure, diabetes, nervous system, brain, cancer, stroke—cerebrovascular disease, and skin disease that are linked to exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollutants.
The book also evaluates the health cost and economic burden of air pollution and offers risk management and solutions to mitigate the health implications of indoor and ambient air pollution. This book provides a single source solution and the latest information about the diseases attributed to air pollutants and their health impact. It will be a valuable reference for academicians, researchers, and students in environmental health, public health, and occupational health, as well as environmental engineers, meteorologists, epidemiologists, medical researchers, and environmental toxicologists.
- Discusses diseases attributed to air pollutants
- Explains the mechanism of air pollutants on human organs
- Examines human epidemiological studies and case studies on disease outcomes due to air pollutants
- Covers health cost and economic burden evaluation of air pollution
