Editorial Reviews
Barbara Clayton, University of Southampton, UK, Past President of the National Society for Clean Air
"...I recommend this volume most highly. I shall be surprised if Air Pollution and Health does not become a standard work which will require regular updating."
Review
"This text is a needed addition to the field of air pollution and environmental health. It is likely the most comprehensive book to date on this important subject . . . The wide range of topics will appeal to physicians, immunologists, public health advocates, and others interested in details of the human response to air pollution. . . Among the contributors there are many leading authorities who not only share their experience and perspective, but deliver well-written chapters . . . Physicians, toxicologists (in pulmonary or public health), and epidemiologists will appreciate this text for different reasons--most certainly for its depth and extensive references to current literature . . ."
