Exposure to environmental pollution is a leading risk factor for developing diseases in the respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, and central and peripheral nervous systems. Environmental Pollution and Brain Biology provides a thorough overview of the pathophysiological and oxidative stress mechanisms of how environmental pollution affects brain biology. The author discusses important topics such as air pollution and brain cancer, memory, autism, hearing loss and brain development. This book is written for a multidisciplinary audience of researchers in neuroscience, biomedicine and environmental science, as well as occupational health workers and physicians. Provides deep insights into the mechanisms of how environmental pollution affects brain biologyHighlights important topics such as pollution and brain cancer, memory, autism, and brain developmentSummarizes this multidisciplinary topic for researchers in neuroscience, biomedicine and environmental science INDICE: 1.
