Review: This reference book presents the latest developments in aerosol science and interactions between particles and the respiratory tract. The first part of the book deals with an overview of particle interactions with the respiratory tract. The second goes on to discuss particles interacting with the lung itself, in particular environmental and medical particles and particles inhaled in occupational settings. The third part covers inhalation of particles, their deposition and clearance and interfacial aspects of particle retention. The following parts discuss in detail molecular, cellular and systemic responses of the lung to inhaled particles. The book ends with a look at the health consequences of particle inhalation and air pollution.
