Synergic influence of gaseous, particulate, and biological pollutants on human health

Synergic Influence of Gaseous, Particulate, and Biological Pollutants on Human Health is a unique merger of two divergent parts. The first part is a presentation of the existing knowledge on the characteristics of basic air pollutants and their documented impact on human health. The focus is on the main gaseous, airborne particles (including fiber Content: Environmental characteristics of gaseous pollutants and related adverse health effects / Lucyna Falkowska -- Atmospheric aerosol particles / Kikuo Okada -- PAH and heavy metals in ambient particulate matter : a review of up-to-date worldwide data / Wioletta Rogula-Kozlowska -- Adverse health effects of the exposure to the spherical aerosol particles, including ultra-fine particles / Renata Zlotkowska -- Fibers : their characteristics and health implications / Jozef.
