Series: Environmental Health – Physical, Chemical and Biological Factors
BISAC: SCI026000

The book offers a comprehensive review of current research regarding the influences of environmental factors involved in human health and aging. Many environmental compounds promote excessive oxidative stress, which is the primary cause of accelerated aging and which also contributes to the development of human diseases. The basic concepts of aging theories are discussed, as is the promotion of oxidative stress which has been identified as one of the most important mechanisms responsible for the toxic effects of the majority of environmental pollutants. Antioxidants play an important role in the defense against pollutant-induced toxicity. (Imprint: Nova)
