Occupational and environmental lung diseases: diseases from work, home, outdoor and other exposures

No current textbooks approach the topic of occupational and environmental lung disease from the starting point of the patient who comes to a physician withrespiratory symptoms. Early in the clinical history the patient should be identified as having a particular job or environmental exposure(s). Chapters in this book are arranged by job or exposure(s), rather than by specific causativeagents. Each is written by an expert in the specific topic and aims to provide pragmatic information for the practicing physician. Potentially harmful exposures occur not only in work environments but also as part of hobbies or otherleisure activities such as sports, and also from outdoor air pollutants; sections on each of these are included.
