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 int 410 0$aAir pollution reviews ;$vv. 3. 606 $aAir$xPollution$xPhysiological effect 606 $aParticles$xPhysiological effect 606 $aAerosols$xPhysiological effect 615 0$aAir$xPollution$xPhysiological effect. 615 0$aParticles$xPhysiological effect. 615 0$aAerosols$xPhysiological effect. 676 $a615.902 701 $aAyres$b J.
