Environmental pollution is an emerging global public health problem of both developing and developed nations. Such pollution is a major risk factor for many illnesses, including nervous system disorders. This book combines the highlights the effects of environmental pollution on brain biology. It will be a thorough overview of the pathophysiological and oxidative stress mechanisms and how environmental pollution affects the brain biology. The author discusses environmental pollution and brain development, memory, autism, hearing and vision loss and brain cancer. Several chapters address controversial topics such as the effect of Electromagnetic Field Radiation (RF-EMFR).
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book offers readers the most thorough overview of all pathophysiologic and oxidative stress mechanisms relative to brain injury. This is a superb entry, and one that will require frequent updates given the dynamic nature of this field." - John T. Pierce, MBBS(MD) PhD, Navy Environmental Health Center
