This edition of the text, already considered by many to be a leading reference on respiratory disorders that occur as a result of exposure to agents in the workplace, has been throroughly revised and updated. The editorial team have removed those disorders that are no longer commonplace, and the disorders that are no longer on current and future issues in clinical practice. Including background features of each disorder, including epidemiological, pathophysiology and clinical features, the book continues to provide guidance on occupationally related diseases for the occupational health professional, chest physician and the legal community. The text also discusses the clinical aspects, including differential diagnosis, management, prognosis and outcome.
