Explore in-depth the relationships between biological contaminants and human health found in diverse settings such as homes, hospitals, businesses, and schools

Indoor air quality has an immense impact on human health and well-being. Indoor air environments can contain a huge range of biological contaminants, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, insects, and their various harmful byproducts. Indoor biocontamination has been under-studied as an aspect of public and occupational health, and there is an urgent need for an introduction to this vital subject.

Airborne Biocontaminants and Their Impact on Human Health meets this need with a thorough, rigorous overview of major indoor airborne contaminants. Gathering and summarizing a huge range of data regarding biocontaminants in settings from homes to schools to workplaces, it investigates patterns of morbidity and their connections to major contaminants. The result is an essential tool in the broader fight for human health at home and elsewhere.

Airborne Biocontaminants and Their Impact on Human Health readers will also find:

  • Analysis of the indoor role of gases, particulate matter, and others
  • Detailed coverage of contaminant byproducts including endotoxins, mycotoxins, volatile organic compounds, and more
  • Methods for generating awareness and therefore reduced risk of exposure to harmful contaminants

Airborne Biocontaminants and Their Impact on Human Health is ideal for researchers-biologists, environmentalists, civil and environmental engineers, industrial hygienists, safety regulators, and public health officials-interested in the area of biological contamination in different environments.
