Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the concept of "Total Exposure Health" and presents details on subject areas which make up the framework. It provides in-depth coverage of the science and technology supporting exposure and risk assessment. This includes advances in toxicology and the "-omics" as well as new techniques for exposure assessment. The book concludes with a discussion on bioethics implications, including ethical considerations related to genetic testing.
Discusses advances in exposure monitoring
Presents a systems biology approach to human exposures
Examines how overall well-being translates to worker productivity
Considers the link between work-related risk factors and health conditions
Covers the study of genomics in precision medicine and exposure science
Explores bioethics in genomic studies
Aimed at the exposure professionals (industrial hygienists, toxicologists, public health, environmental engineers), geneticists, molecular biologists, engineers and managers in the health and safety industry as well as professionals in the public administration field.

Reviews / Votes
"The book includes a useful index. The total exposure (or worker) health and exposome-ics topics will dominate occupational health and related fields. Publication during 2020 destines this book for an explainer role and a presenter of research prospects. Weighted Numerical Score: 95 - 4 Stars!"- John T. Pierce, MBBS (MD) PhD (Navy Environmental Health Center)
