Allergens and Respiratory Pollutants. Woodhead Publishing Series in
Biomedicine
Description:
Allergens and respiratory pollutants is a collection of 12 authoritative papers that draws upon the collective
expertise of world leaders in the fields of innate immunity, immunotoxicology and pulmonary biology. The
book critically explores the biological and immunological mechanisms that contribute to immune
dysfunction on exposure to allergens and the susceptibility to infectious disease on exposure to ambient
pollutants. The clinical relevance of exposure to ambient airborne xenobiotics is critically discussed and
collectively, this book provides an educational forum that links the health effects of environmental
exposures, immune dysfunction and inflammatory airways disease.
- Discusses recent advances in our understanding of cell-mediated innate immune mechanisms that occur
during allergic inflammation and provides important timely coverage of diseases of concern and how such
diseases are influenced by a dysfunctional immune system
- Provides useful information on linking environmental 'danger signals' that provoke immune dysfunction
and exacerbation of existing disease
- Draws upon the collective expertise of an international college of leaders in the field, but also provides
chapters that provide essential reference material
