This new book, written by two outstanding scientists in the field,
describes the basic principles of toxic mechanisms and organ
toxicity, providing detailed information on specific mechanisms or
chemicals for exemplification. The goal is to provide sufficient
information that the reader becomes familiar with the basic
concepts in toxicology to enable him or her to understand the basic
principles in toxicology and to evaluate the risks at given
exposures. With this basic understanding the reader also will be
able to critically evaluate the available information on a chemical
and to identify data gaps.
In addition to the introductory chapters the book will offer the
following systematic information, presented in six special
sections:
* Principles in Toxicology
* Organ Toxicology
* Methods in Toxicology
* Risk Assessment
* Risk Management
* Toxicity of Chemicals
Fulfilling a demand for such a book, this will be a welcomed
introductory text for students and non-experts alike to focus
on and understand the principles of hazard identification and risk
assessment of toxicants. Relevant to all those studying toxicology,
biochemistry, biology, medicine and chemistry, as well as
toxicologists in hospitals, universities and in industry.
