Cardiovascular Effects of Inhaled Ultrafine and Nano-Sized Particles

This book assists scientists, toxicologists, clinicians, and public health regulators to understand the complex issues that determine the impact of air pollution on the cardiovascular system. It covers a range of relevant topics including particulate matter (PM) sources and characterization, methods of exposure, impact of PM on cells and systems, role of particles in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease, risk assessment, and potential environmental and therapeutic interventions.

Keywords: cardiovascular effects of inhaled ultrafine particles, cardiovascular effects of inhaled nano-sized particles, air pollution and cardiovascular system, air pollution effects on cardiovascular system, air pollution effects on the heart, particulate matter sources, particulate matter characterization, the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease, role of particles in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease, Cardiovascular Disease, Environmental Analysis, Cardiovascular Disease, Environmental Analysis
