Many international experts collaborated in creating this groundbreaking work, a principal-coding system, and in developing reference films and imaging parameters for the International Classification of HRCT for Occupational and Environmental Respiratory Diseases. The book is an authoritative guide to the recognition of dust diseases of the lung, using radiological imaging techniques, with special emphasis on high-resolution computerized tomography (CT). The classification is a powerful, essential tool for recording patient data on CT in a globally standardized semiquantitative way. The system is also applicable to surveillance and screening for occupational and environmental respiratory diseases. The book is a valuable resource not only for radiologists but for all who work in occupational medicine and public health.

For several decades, among the medical community and the public at large, there has been an increasing awareness and increasing concern in relation to environmentally-related diseases. If you are an industrial hygienist, occupational or environmental health physician, pulmonologist, epidemiologist, toxicologist, or civil engineer, you can now look to Environmental Respiratory Diseases for practical, reliable, up-to-date information on environmentally-related respiratory diseases. The editors of this volume are Edward M. Cordasco, an authority on environmentally-induced pulmonary diseases; Stephen L. Demeter, professor of medicine and also a pulmonary expert; and Carl Zenz, editor of the acclaimed Occupational Medicine. You will find here the latest information on diseases of the respiratory system caused by environmental exposures. You will also find much practical information on diagnosis, monitoring for exposures, and treatment of medical conditions related to contaminated air, water, and soil. This book supplies you with comprehensive and timely discussions of: sources and types of environmental contaminants physiologic and pathologic responses of the respiratory system sequelae of toxic inhalation approaches to environmental surveillance environmental causes of respiratory cancers asbestos-related lung disease radon risk exposure to electromagnetic radiation pulmonary effects of indoor and outdoor air pollution respiratory health risks in agriculture allergic respiratory diseases research resources for environmental respiratory diseases

Cardiovascular, respiratory, and related conditions cause more than 40 percent of all deaths globally, and their substantial burden is rising, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Their burden extends well beyond health effects to include significant economic and societal consequences. Most of these conditions are related, share risk factors, and have common control measures at the clinical, population, and policy levels. Lives can be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented, detected, and managed. This volume summarizes current knowledge and presents evidence-based interventions that are effective, cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs.

This Monograph provides the general respiratory physician with a working reference based on the latest literature and expert opinion. The initial chapter provides a contemporaneous global perspective of the epidemiology of occupational and environmental lung diseases in an ever-evolving landscape. The book then goes on to consider specific occupational lung diseases. Each chapters has a clear clinical focus and considers: key questions to ask in the history; appropriate investigations to undertake; differential diagnoses; and management. Controversies or diagnostic conundrums encountered in the clinic are also considered, and further chapters are more broadly centred on the non-workplace environment; specifically, the respiratory symptoms and diseases associated with both the outdoor and indoor environments.
