It deals with the impact of nasal disease on lung exposure, how pollutants are distributed within the lung, and the uncertainties with regard to defining the dose to the lung. It takes a tangential look at the lung dose by exploring the possibility of obtaining clues from occupational medicine. Toxicologically, the book examines the possible methodology for exploring how particles and their toxicity can be investigated, and looks intAir pollution reviews ;v. 3.AirPollutionPhysiological effectParticlesPhysiological effectAerosolsPhysiological effectAirPollutionPhysiological effect.ParticlesPhysiological effect.AerosolsPhysiological effect.615.902Ayres J.
