Emphasizing the relationship between the respiratory system and toxicology of inhaled substances, this guide examines methods and measurements to improve our understanding of the basic mechanisms of effects.

Presenting concepts in an accessible format, the book covers:

• inhalation of biological agents
• developing chemical exposure numbers for emergency response planning
• new techniques such as toxicokinetic models, genomics, and proteomics
• in vivo studies and animal models, therapeutics, and chemicals
• data, methods, models, and guidelines used in health risk assessment to determine inhalation endpoints
• the Acute Exposure Guidelines and Emergence Response Guidelines and recent changes in the European and American guidelines for testing procedures
