Produktbeschreibung
Companion animals have been considered, for centuries, as humans best friends. Most of our pets are really our best friends, as they are faithful, make as company and love us unconditionally. They also share our environment, living inside our houses being therefore exposed to the same indoor contaminants.

In the present work, the levels and potential effects of indoor contaminants in companion animals were evaluated and the implications of using pets as sentinels for human exposure discussed.
