This  situation has been made worse by the isolation of theory from  modeling, of experimentation from theory, and of practical action from  basic science. \u003cbr\u003e  This book arises from efforts at regulatory agencies and industries to  bring more science into health risk analysis so that society may  better use limited resources to improve public health. \u003cbr\u003e  This book covers: the characterization of exposure to pollutants and  other sources of risk; the movement of pollutants into the body via  inhalation; ingestion, dermal absorption, and exposures to radiation;  the movement of a pollutant as it cascades through the tissues and  organs of the body; and the development of principles and models for  dose-response modeling. \u003cbr\u003e  The book shows how an understanding of the biological, chemical, and  physical properties of the environment and of the human body can guide  the selection of mathematical models, and how these models can aid in  estimating risks. Included in the book are models covering the full  range of topics in human health risk analysis: exposure assessment,  rates of intake, deposition and uptake by organs, absorption across  membranes, biokinetics, dosimetry, and dose-response. \u003cbr\u003e  The reader will gain from the book a better understanding of how  environmental health science, as applied in risk analysis, can be used  to create a more rational basis for the improvement of public health.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-12-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461378150\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461378150\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-6143-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 208\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358770327692,"sku":"9781461378150","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461378150.jpg?v=1755113858","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461378150","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
