Particle-Lung Interactions

This is a groundbreaking resource, the only one in the market, to discuss the pros and cons of particle-lung interactions in a single tome.

An international, multi-disciplinary group of leading scientists undertake an integrative approach to both established knowledge and exciting new observations on:

• all stages of particle-lung interactions: from deposition and retention in the respiratory tract to their clearance from the organism
• the innovative use of inhaled manmade particles as a form of drug delivery for systematic treatment of hazardous health consequences
• financial burdens of inhaled environmental pollutants
• implications at the cellular and molecular levels of particle inhalation
• the impact of manufactured nanoparticles on the whole organism
• toxicological responses to particle inhalation
