Epidemiologic Studies in Human Populations

  • Chapter
Toxicology of Inhaled Materials

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 75))

Abstract

This volume addresses the general principles of inhalational toxicology. It emphasizes the range of responses that can be measured in animals and in humans after exposure to inhaled particles and vapors. Chapters dealing with exposure techniques and methods of measurement (by no means all of which can be applied to humans) provide a thorough review of up-to-date information.
