Environmental Stressors and OxInflammatory Tissues Responses

Environmental  risk factors – noise, air pollution, chemical agents, and ultraviolet  radiation – impact human health by contributing to the onset and  progression of noncommunicable diseases. Accordingly, there is need for  preclinical and clinical studies and comprehensive summary of major  findings. This book is a state-of-the-art summary of these myriad severe  life stressors. The chapters on the different pollutants focus on  disease mechanisms (cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic  disorders) and on oxidative stress and inflammation. The editors  emphasize emerging mechanisms based on dysregulation of the circadian  clock, the microbiome, epigenetic pathways, and cognitive function by  environmental stressors, and introduce the exposome concept while  highlighting existing research gaps.

Key Features:

• Links various environmental stressors to the incidence of noncommunicable diseases
• Includes chapters on airborne toxins, chemical pollutants, noise, and ultraviolet radiation stressors
• Contributions from an international team of leading researchers
• Summarizes the impacts of stressors on disease mechanisms
