Combating the rising prevalence and morbidity of asthma around the globe, this critical reference investigates environmental factors and prescribes preventive measures for the pathogenesis and treatment of asthma. Extensive analyses of allergens and pollutants document the causal relationships between environmental exposure and asthmatic problems.
Systematically highlighting numerous environmental determinants, Environmental Asthma
identifies key methods to recognize, measure, and monitor environmental aspects impacting asthma management
examines the stages of antigen-induced airway disease, various allergic responses, and the role of inflammatory mediators and cells
profiles the biology, molecular characteristics, and assessment of dust mite allergens and acute airway responses
focuses on the relationship between fungal sensitivity and asthma, and details fungal allergens, their environments, and prophylactic procedures
pinpoints efforts to screen sources of air pollution, including sulfur and nitrogen dioxides, acid aerosols, and ozone
considers a variety of diagnostic approaches such as pulmonary function testing, radiology, arterial blood gases, and atopy
explores the objectives, indications, and contraindications of immunotherapy for asthma
forecasts future directions encompassing risk factors, population studies, and containment
and much more!
Written by renowned experts and containing over 1000 literature references, drawings, photographs, and x-rays, Environmental Asthma is an outstanding reference for pulmonologists, clinical immunologists, allergists, primary care physicians, internists, pediatricians, and medical school students in these disciplines.
