The book outlines the chemical substances and physical and biological factors that occur more frequently indoors, which are of health significance, or for which only limited information on their occurrence indoors is available to date. It also provides guidance to identify where problems may arise in the future and where data is missing for a valid exposure and risk assessment as well as for consequent risk management. Written by a highly recognized and experienced medical expert in the field, the book starts with an introduction to the indoor environment, including topics such as indoor environmental quality and health, indoor climate, sampling of indoor pollutants, and measures to improve indoor air quality. The author then delves into the fundamentalsof exposure assessment and special exposure indoor situations, followed by in-depth coverage of the health aspects, and indoor air occurrence of several substances such as volatile organic compounds, very volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, and particulate matters and fibers. Particular attention is given to bioaerosols like mold, microbial volatile organic compounds, mycotoxins, and viruses. Readers will also find chapters devoted to the main health aspects and indoor occurrence of inorganic gases, radon and metals, and smoking. The book closes with a chapter on risk assessment, in which readers will learn more about the basics of risk assessment, key points and processes of a health evaluation, and guidance for assessing indoor air contamination. This book is a unique compilation of the current worldwide exposure situation in private and public indoor spaces, and an important reference for researchers that are willing to assess the rising burden of disease and potential causes behind degraded indoor air quality. Scientists, students, and policymakers interested in the fields of medicine and environmental sciences will understand the appeal of this book. .Environmental chemistryEnvironmental healthAnalytical chemistryPollutionEnvironmental monitoringPublic healthEnvironmental ChemistryEnvironmental HealthAnalytical ChemistryPollutionEnvironmental MonitoringPublic HealthEnvironmental chemistry.Environmental health.Analytical chemistry.Pollution.Environmental monitoring.Public health.Environmental Chemistry.Environmental Health.Analytical Chemistry.Pollution.Environmental Monitoring.Public Health.613.5Fromme Hermann1956-1743406MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910755083703321Indoor air quality4170843UNINA02728nam 2200541 a 450 991096718410332120251116233253.00-429-23893-20-203-82694-9(CKB)2560000000102036(EBL)652874(OCoLC)850177794(SSID)ssj0000968889(PQKBManifestationID)12421752(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000968889(PQKBWorkID)10985723(PQKB)10570672(MiAaPQ)EBC652874(Au-PeEL)EBL652874(CaPaEBR)ebr10716451(CaONFJC)MIL494508(EXLCZ)99256000000010203620020509d2002 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrChristianity in the land of the pharaohs the Coptic Orthodox Church /Jill KamilLondon ;New York Routledge20021 online resource (575 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-415-64231-0 0-415-24253-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front Cover; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; List of figures; Preface; Acknowlegments; Introduction; 1 Worship of the Holy Virgin and the Holy Family in Egypt; 2 Desert Fathers ancient and modern; 3 Faith and oppression under Roman rule; 4 Knowledge versus faith; 5 Martyrs and Pachomian monasticism; 6 The war against paganism and Christian reflection of its art; 7 Conversion, controversy and national identity; 8 Coptic Christianity develops its own style; 9 Change and continuity under Islam; 10 Restoration and revival; Epilogue; Appendix: notes on saints and martyrs; GlossaryBibliographyIndexThe Copts - the indigenous Christians of Egypt - declared their independence from Byzantine Christianity when they appointed their own patriarchs in the sixth century. Jill Kamil has written an angaging and accessible survey of the history of Christianity on Egypt, through its development under Rome, Byzantium and Islam, to modern times.Drawing on personal travel to all the Christian sites of Egypt, and conversations with scholars, monks, museum directors, and scores of lay Egyptians both Copt and Muslim, the author tells us about the fundamental importance of Coptic religion and culture in EgEgyptChurch history281/.72Kamil Jill784449MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967184103321Christianity in the land of the pharaohs4482786UNINA
