Hardbound. This book will be very useful for those who are engaged in prevention or health management of occupational respiratory diseases. Key features of Advances in the Prevention of Occupational Respiratory Diseases are the discussions, presentations, and lectures at the 9th International Conference in Kyoto, Japan which focused on the results of the latest researches in the field and the tendency of occupational respiratory diseases in many countries.Papers focused on all types of occupational respiratory diseases including: - pneumoconiosis, - biological effect of natural and synthetic fibers, - occupational respiratory allergies, - and more
Presented here are recent data on the mechanisms of action of different dusts and fibres of industrial interest. Emphasis is placed on the use of cell and organ culture and lavage cell populations obtained from man and laboratory animals to elucidate cellular and molecular events occurring after their interaction with fibrous and non-fibrous particulates including metal compounds. In four sections, the volume provides research findings in the following areas: - Cellular and Metabolic Changes Caused by Mineral Dusts - Molecular Changes and DNA Alterations Produced by Mineral Dusts - In Vivo Dust-Related Pathological Processes. Correlations Between in Vitro and in Vivo Data - Physico-Chemical Properties of Minerals in Relation to Their Biological Effects.
