商品描述
This book presents a comprehensive and detailed overview of indoor pollution, covering the main contaminants in the indoor environment - air and dust, the health aspects of exposure, and different possibilities for a risk assessment. 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 fundamentals of 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 burdenof 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.商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了室內污染的全面且詳細的概述，涵蓋了室內環境中的主要污染物——空氣和灰塵、暴露的健康方面以及風險評估的不同可能性。書中概述了在室內更常見的化學物質以及物理和生物因素，這些因素對健康具有重要意義，或是目前對其在室內出現的資訊僅限於有限的資料。它還提供了指導，以識別未來可能出現問題的地方，以及在有效的暴露和風險評估中缺乏數據的地方，並為隨後的風險管理提供依據。
本書由一位在該領域備受認可且經驗豐富的醫學專家撰寫，首先介紹了室內環境，包括室內環境質量與健康、室內氣候、室內污染物的取樣以及改善室內空氣質量的措施等主題。作者接著深入探討了暴露評估的基本原則和特殊的室內暴露情況，隨後詳細介紹了健康方面的內容，以及多種物質在室內空氣中的出現情況，如揮發性有機化合物、非常揮發性有機化合物、半揮發性有機化合物以及顆粒物和纖維。特別關注生物氣溶膠，如黴菌、微生物揮發性有機化合物、真菌毒素和病毒。讀者還會發現專門討論無機氣體、氡和金屬以及吸煙的主要健康方面和室內出現情況的章節。本書最後以風險評估的章節作結，讀者將了解風險評估的基本知識、健康評估的關鍵點和過程，以及評估室內空氣污染的指導。
這本書是當前全球私人和公共室內空間暴露情況的獨特彙編，對於希望評估日益增加的疾病負擔及其背後潛在原因的研究人員來說，是一個重要的參考資料。對於對醫學和環境科學領域感興趣的科學家、學生和政策制定者來說，這本書具有很大的吸引力。
作者簡介
Hermann Fromme is a professor at the Institute and Clinic for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU), Germany. He started his professional career by studying social sciences at the University of Göttingen and completed his MD degree at the LMU and the Freie Universität Berlin. After holding various management positions in environmental health departments of the Berlin Senate Department for Social Affairs and Health, he was head of the Institute for Environmental Analysis and Human Toxicology in Berlin. Subsequently, Professor Fromme was head of the Department of Chemical Safety and Toxicology of the Bavarian Health and Food Safety Authority. His work focuses in particular on the identification of chemicals in the environmental media and in humans as well as on the performance of health-related risk assessments. This has resulted in numerous scientific articles, particularly in the fields of exposure science, indoor air contaminants, human biomonitoring, health effects, and regulatory aspects of pollutants.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
赫爾曼·弗羅梅（Hermann Fromme）是德國慕尼黑路德維希-馬克西米利安大學（Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, LMU）職業、社會與環境醫學研究所及診所的教授。他的職業生涯始於在哥廷根大學（University of Göttingen）學習社會科學，並在LMU及柏林自由大學（Freie Universität Berlin）獲得醫學博士學位。在擔任柏林社會事務與健康部環境健康部門的多個管理職位後，他成為柏林環境分析與人類毒理學研究所的所長。隨後，弗羅梅教授擔任巴伐利亞健康與食品安全局化學安全與毒理學部的部長。他的工作特別專注於環境媒介和人類中的化學物質識別，以及健康相關風險評估的執行。這些研究成果產生了大量的科學文章，特別是在暴露科學、室內空氣污染物、人類生物監測、健康影響及污染物的監管方面。
