When sufficient moisture is available, hundreds of species of bacteria and fungi - particularly mould - pollute indoor air. The most important effects of exposure to these pollutants are the increased prevalence of respiratory symptoms, allergies and asthma, as well as disturbance of the immune system. .../...

Ozone is a highly oxidative compound formed in the lower atmosphere (from gases originating to a large extent from anthropogenic sources) by photochemistry driven by solar radiation, Owing to its highly reactive chemical properties, ozone is harmful to vegetation, materials and human health. In the troposphere, ozone is also an efficient greenhouse gas. .../...

Dermal (percutaneous, skin) absorption is a
global term that describes the transport of
chemicals from the outer surface of the skin both
into the skin and into the systemic circulation.
Dermal absorption can occur from occupational,
environmental, or consumer skin exposure to
chemicals, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical
products. .../...

The purpose of this book is to assess, evaluate, and give guidance on the role of elemental speciation and speciation analysis in human health hazard and risk assessment. The book is directed at risk assessors and regulators, to emphasize the importance of consideration of speciation in their deliberations. To date, this issue has not been a part of most hazard and risk assessments. .../...
