This book explores the connections between environmental toxic exposures and the development of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. It covers the mechanisms through which toxins contribute to disease pathogenesis and progression. The book emphasizes epidemiological studies and toxicological research in establishing causal relationships between environmental factors and chronic health conditions. Suitable for medical researchers and toxicologists, it promotes a comprehensive understanding of environmental influences on chronic diseases.
Eden Sharp investigates the toxicological links between environmental exposures and the development of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. Her research explores how long-term exposure to pollutants like endocrine disruptors, heavy metals, and air particulates contributes to the pathogenesis of these diseases. Eden has developed models to study the cumulative effects of environmental toxins on chronic disease incidence and progression. She has published extensively on the mechanisms by which environmental toxicants influence chronic disease outcomes. As an editor, Eden offers guidelines for researchers and healthcare professionals to explore and address the environmental determinants of chronic diseases, promoting preventive strategies through informed toxicological insights.
