This volume of the IARC monographs provides an evaluation of the carcinogenicity of outdoor air pollution. Outdoor air pollution is a complex mixture of pollutants originating from natural and anthropogenic sources, including transportation, power generation, industrial activity, biomass burning, and domestic heating and cooking. The mix of pollutants in outdoor air varies widely in space and time, reflecting the diversity of sources and the influence of atmospheric processes. Commonly measured air pollutants include particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide; the concentration of particulate matter is often used as an indicator of pollution levels. Millions of people worldwide are exposed to outdoor air pollution at levels that substantially exceed existing health-based guidelines. This evaluation is the culmination of a series that has examined individual pollutants that are contained in the mixture of outdoor air. Related previous evaluations have been published in IARC Monographs Volumes 92, 93, 95, 100C, 100E, 103, and 105. An IARC Monographs Working Group reviewed epidemiological studies, animal cancer bioassays, and mechanistic data to assess the carcinogenic hazards of exposure to outdoor air pollution and particulate air pollution. --

La 4e de couverture indique : "Durant trente ans, Rommel Mendès-Leite fut l'un des protagonistes des études sur le genre, les sexualités et le sida. Cet ouvrage, qui rassemble ses articles les plus importants, rend compte de ses principaux sujets de recherche : l'articulation entre construction du genre et construction des sexualités d'une part, et l'approche socio-anthropologique du VIH / sida de l'autre. Au moyen d'enquêtes de terrain, il a étudié les représentations de genre, l'évolution des normes sexuelles, ainsi que les processus de (re)construction identitaire, pour en démontrer inlassablement la construction sociale. Ses diverses analyses de l'activité sexuelle entre hommes, et notamment sa définition des "protections imaginaires" grâce auxquelles les individus parviennent à adapter leurs désirs aux risques liés au VIH, ont contribué de façon décisive à la compréhension des pratiques, et non-pratiques, du safe(r) sex et donc à une politique de prévention qui intègre les réalités psycho-sociales du terrain.

This book, Environmental Health Risk - Hazardous Factors to Living Species, is intended to provide a set of practical discussions and relevant tools for making risky decisions that require actions to reduce environmental health risk against environmental factors that may adversely impact human health or ecological balances. We aimed to compile information from diverse sources into a single volume to give some real examples extending concepts of those hazardous factors to living species that may stimulate new research ideas and trends in the relevant fields.
