Written by authorities in the field, this book provides a
‘bottom up’ approach to studying skin toxicology.
Principles and Practice of Skin Toxicology clearly
outlines basic concepts, cites historical and modern references and
contains a dictionary for easy reference. The inclusion of
global legislation and regulatory aspects on the topic makes this a
comprehensive review for every practitioner, clinical researcher in
industry and academia, and MSc and Ph D student of toxicology.
* Different sections cover skin structure and function,
principles and measurement of skin absorption, clinical aspects of
dermal toxicity and in vitro alternatives.
* A section on regulatory and legislative aspects includes case
studies from the UK that fulfill European Union and US FDA
requirements.
* A glossary provides definitions of technical terms, and
the chapters contain an introduction, learning boxes and
summary section for ease of use.
* Includes a chapter on drug delivery through the skin.
* Addresses risk assessment: a key area for the interpretation of
skin absorption data that is rarely covered.
