Details

Asbestos: Risk Assessment, Epidemiology, and Health Effects offers a key text on the evolving information regarding asbestos and human health. Now in its third edition, this bestseller explores the pathological complexities of asbestos-related disease and examines how asbestos induces diseases in biological systems. The book also discusses the types of instruments and methods available for evaluation of the content of asbestiform minerals in products, air, water, surface areas, and tissue. It explains the relevance of each of these applications and gives readers the tools to evaluate data in the future.

Edited by leading authorities on the subject and with contributions from a team of international experts, this book takes a cross-disciplinary approach and an authoritative review of the history, pathology, epidemiology, sampling, and analysis of asbestos. Backed up with photos and numerous diagrams, tables, and photographs, it features case studies, methodologies, and sampling/analytical schemes that put learning into context. Fully up-to-date and featuring four brand new chapters covering asbestosis and immunity, asbestos litigation and surgical and non-surgical management of mesothelioma, this book remains the most comprehensive source of information on asbestos and the only guide the reader will ever need to own.

This essential text will appeal to any professional at any level who requires the latest expertise in dealing with asbestos. It suits researchers and practitioners alike, as well as those in the fields of law, health, education, hospitality, emergency response, building management and maintenance, construction, safety, insurance, and industrial hygiene.
