Written by leading specialists in the fields of medicine, veterinary, environment, analytical chemistry, sociology and behavioral science, this volume provides a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities of pets in what regards to human health. The first seven chapters are devoted to the use of pets as sentinels for their human companions, in terms of exposure to different classes of environmental chemicals. The following five chapters address the use of pets as models for human diseases and promoters of human health. The final two chapters highlight the psycho-social and psychophysiological aspects of human-animal interactions. The book offers an integrated approach to the One Health concept, providing, in a truly holistic manner, tools to assess the equilibrium between the environment, men and animals. This exercise will highlight and reshape our position towards the planet that despite being ?a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot lost in the unimaginable infinity of the Universe? is still our own. At the end of the day, pets will always be there to help us. 606 $aEcotoxicology 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aEnvironmental health 606 $aHealth promotion 606 $aAir pollution 606 $aPsychology, Experimental 606 $aEcotoxicology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U25001 606 $aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U1400X 606 $aEnvironmental Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U18005 606 $aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27010 606 $aAtmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35010 606 $aExperimental Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20190 615 0$aEcotoxicology. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 0$aEnvironmental health. 615 0$aHealth promotion. 615 0$aAir pollution. 615 0$aPsychology, Experimental. 615 14$aEcotoxicology. 615 24$aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis. 615 24$aEnvironmental Health. 615 24$aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention. 615 24$aAtmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution. 615 24$aExperimental Psychology. 676 $a636.0887 676 $a636.0887 702 $aPastorinho$b M.
