This book discusses the relationship between environmental toxicants and lifestyle diseases and explores how pollutants impact human health. With contributions from leading experts, this volume delves into the latest research and evidence-based approaches to understanding and managing these critical health issues. The chapters cover a wide array of topics, including emerging contaminants like endocrine disruptors and microplastics. The book also covers the link between environmental toxicants and diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, cancer, infertility, chronic lung diseases, and stress. Additionally, it explores innovative management strategies for these lifestyle diseases through nanotechnological applications, natural products, and dietary interventions.
Researchers in toxicology, biochemistry, environmental science, clinical research, and related fields will find this book invaluable. It provides critical insights for regulatory agencies, policymakers, health professionals, and students at all levels.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
