Extrapolation of Dosimetric Relationships for Inhaled Particles and Gases

The environmental pollutants to which humans are exposed are rapidly increasing in terms of number, complexity, and concentration. One of the great challenges in environmental medicine is to define the adverse health effects likely to be encountered by exposures to these pollutants, since reducing exposure to zero is politically and economically unfeasible. These problems are examined in this book including the distribution of inhaled particles and gases in the lung.
