This book examines the role of environmental toxins in the development and exacerbation of respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, and lung cancer. It covers pollutants like ozone, particulate matter, and chemical vapors, detailing their mechanisms of respiratory toxicity. The text emphasizes the importance of air quality management, protective measures, and public health interventions to reduce respiratory risks. Suitable for pulmonologists and toxicologists, it promotes comprehensive approaches to managing toxin-related respiratory health issues.
Mia Sherman explores the toxicological impacts of environmental toxins on respiratory health, focusing on pollutants like ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter. Her research examines how chronic and acute exposures to these toxins contribute to respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mia has developed assessment tools to measure toxin exposure levels and predict respiratory health outcomes. She has published extensively on the prevention and management of toxin-induced respiratory conditions. As an editor, Mia offers guidelines for toxicologists and respiratory health professionals to assess and mitigate the effects of environmental toxins, promoting better respiratory health through informed toxicological practices.
