Documents both environmental and work-related causes of lungdisease
Unlike other books on the subject, this new volume approachesoccupational and environmental lung disease from the starting pointof the patient who comes to the physician with respiratorysymptoms. The authors recognize that potentially harmful exposuresoccur not only in the work environment, but also as a result ofhobbies or other leisure activities, or from outdoor air pollution,and it is up the physician to identify whether a particular job orhobby is the cause of the patient's respiratorysymptoms.
To help you arrive at a differential diagnosis, chapters in thebook are arranged by job or exposure, and are divided into 5sections:
* Personal environment
* Home environment
* Other indoor environments
* Work environment
* General environment
Each is written by an expert in the specific topic and providespragmatic information for the practicing physician. This practicalbook is an invaluable resource that belongs close at hand for allphysicians dealing with patients experiencing respiratorysymptoms.
