Cardiovascular effects of inhaled ultrafine and nano-sized particles / edited by Flemming R. Cassee, Nicholas L. Mills, David E. Newby.
This book assists scientists, toxicologists, clinicians, and public health regulators to understand the complex issues that determine the impact of air pollution on the cardiovascular system. It covers a range of relevant topics including particulate matter (PM) sources and characterization, methods...
