Evaluates the risks and human health impacts of asbestos and other fibrous minerals
Despite continuous efforts to eliminate asbestos from commercial use, it remains a serious occupational and environmental hazard. Health Risk Assessment for Asbestos and Other Fibrous Minerals provides a rigorous discussion of risk assessment methodology for elongate mineral particles, covering basics, theory, models, and practical applications, enabling readers to participate in carrying out efficient and informed health risk assessments, to estimate potential adverse effects for exposed populations, and to determine the acceptability of risks at a given level of exposure.
Coverage includes:
Mineralogy, health effects, pathology, exposure assessment, modeling, and characterization of risks for asbestos and similar toxic materials
Necessary integration of epidemiology, toxicology, industrial hygiene, and environmental health expertise when performing a health risk assessment
Emerging and not-well-known hazards, e.g. erionite and other naturally occurring fibrous minerals
Case studies and examples of risk calculations to guide readers through the process and help them in their own practical application of methodological concepts
Health Risk Assessment for Asbestos and Other Fibrous Minerals is a highly practical, single source reference on the subject for occupational and public health professionals, industry and government regulators, industrial hygienists, and risk assessors, along with epidemiologists, biostatisticians, toxicologists, and other scientific professionals.
