Its coverage includes metals contaminating the environment, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), air pollution and endocrine disruptors. Harmful consumer products, workplace exposure, cosmetics, microplastic waste are described. Since most chemical substances are related to degenerative disorders and other communicable diseases, the proposed models of disease are analyzed, including cancer and psychiatry disorders. To provide an understanding of the mechanisms of diseases due to exposure, the book also covers basic background knowledge in genetics and epigenetic mechanisms. Oxidative stress and antioxidant mechanisms of the body are presented and how chronic inflammation and oxidative stress leads to disease. Finally, the role of a well-balanced diet and ingredients in the diet which prevent disease as well as the mechanisms of prevention are emphasized. 606 $aEnvironmental health 606 $aPollution 606 $aMedical sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Health 606 $aPollution 606 $aHealth Sciences 615 0$aEnvironmental health. 615 0$aPollution. 615 0$aMedical sciences. 615 14$aEnvironmental Health. 615 24$aPollution. 615 24$aHealth Sciences. 676 $a613.1 700 $aSalavoura$b Aikaterini$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01817048 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910993932003321 996 $aChemical Environmental Pollutants and their Effect on Health$94374404 997 $aUNINA
