Hazardous Gases: Risk Assessment on Environment and Human Health examines all relevant routes of exposure, inhalation, skin absorption and ingestion, and control measures of specifics hazardous gases resulting from workplace exposure from industrial processes, traffic fumes, and the degradation of waste materials and how they impacts the health and environment of workers. The book examines the risk assessment and effect of poisonous gases on the environment human health. It also covers necessary emergency guidelines, safety measures, physiological impact, hazard control measures, handling and storage of hazardous gases. Each chapter is formatted to include an introduction, historical background, physicochemical properties, physiological role discussing mechanisms of toxicity, its effect on human health as well as environment, followed by case studies and recent research on toxic gases. Hazardous Gases: Risk Assessment on Environment and Human Health is a helpful resource for academics and researchers in toxicology, occupational health and safety, and environmental sciences as well as those in the field who work to assess and mitigate the impact of toxic gases on the work environment and the health of the workforce.

Reviews for Hazardous Gases: Risk Assessment on the Environment and Human Health
*4 stars* ""...provides a lively series of case studies and supporting information relative to 30 of the most toxic gases in the industrial environment…. [covered by] roughly 40 contributors [for] an in-depth look at these gases and their toxicities…. One of its greatest features is its capacity to guide diversely constituted teams investigating and mitigating either a natural disaster or an industrial related catastrophe.... The careful, meticulous process of proceeding from compounds' discovery to cutting-edge biology and medicine will enable its readers to fill in everything in between…. Not to be overlooked are its case studies -- riveting accounts of injury and even deaths attributable to gas exposures. This book has a lot of value…. There is no reference I would rate ahead of this book in the context of its purpose.” --©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, John T. Pierce, MBBS(MD) PhD (Navy Environmental Health Center)
