Description:Airborne fibers have long been recognized as a major health hazard in certain industries and exposure to fibers in the general environment may also cause adverse effects such as cancer, in particular, mesothelioma. Asbestos is the best-known fiber carcinogen and, in the construction industry, is being widely replaced by substitute materials. Yet to perform properly, these materials must physically resemble asbestos. Does this mean that they too are hazardous? In this volume, invited experts in cell and tumor biology review the processes of cell division and the influence of fibers upon them. The biology of tumors and other diseases of the lung is discussed in some detail and in several papers the molecular basis of malignant transformation in mesothelioma cells is considered. These contributions combine to give the book a unique, scientific slant on an important environmental issue. It will interest research scientists investigating carcinogenesis and the biology of cell division, thoracic physicians, public health specialists, and those concerned with environmental control policy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
