LUNG CANCER TOXICANTS

Lung Cancer and Environmental Toxicants aims to explore the intricate relationship between lung cancer and environmental toxicants, shedding light on a hidden link that demands urgent attention. This groundbreaking book addresses a critical gap in the current literature by introducing a pioneering exploration of the interplay between lung cancer and environmental toxicants. Previous articles have not coalesced into a comprehensive examination of the complex connection between lung cancer development and the diverse array of environmental toxicants. This book delves into the latest scientific research and clinical findings to offer a clear way forward for healthcare workers to assess and treat lung cancer patients who may have been exposed to these substances. "Lung Cancer and Environmental Toxicants" provides a precise view of the impact of environmental toxicants on lung cancer, covering various aspects including epidemiology, molecular mechanisms, exposure pathways, and preventive measures. This unique and timely work will pave the way for a deeper understanding of the underexplored factors contributing to lung cancer incidence, offering novel insights into the role of various toxic substances in disease causation. This significant title will catalyze new avenues of research and awareness in the fields of oncology, environmental health, and public policy.

Kamal Dua is an Associate Professor in the Discipline of Pharmacy at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). Dr Dua has been recognised and named as one of Australia’s Top 250 researchers in 2025 and 2024 in Research Magazine by “The Australian” in the research discipline of Health and Medical sciences, and #1/research leader in the area of Pharmacology and Pharmacy (2025) and Toxicology (2024) respectively. With over 17 years of research experience, he has specialised in drug delivery targeting inflammatory diseases.
