The Principles of Toxicology
Description
A
fully updated and expanded edition of the bestselling guide on
toxicology and its practical application
The field of
toxicology has grown enormously since Industrial Toxicology: Safety

up-to-date, practical information on how to apply the science of
toxicology in both the occupational and environmental setting.
Through contributions from leading experts in diverse fields,
Principles of Toxicology, Second Edition features:
* Clear
explanations of the fundamentals necessary for an understanding of
the effects of chemical hazards on human health and ecosystems
*

solvents, and natural toxins

and control of toxic hazards
