内容説明
The revised and reorganized second edition of this well-known and widely acclaimed reference on toxicology shows how to quickly determine the extent of the hazards posed by chemicals in the general environment and the workplace. The first six chapters provide an introduction to the nature of chemicals. There follows in-depth discussions of the routes of chemical exposure, differences in species, age, sex, health and nutrition as well as individual susceptibilities. All current toxicological issues are covered, including PCBs, Agent Orange, formaldehyde, and carcinogens. The second edition also features an expanded epidemiology section and the experimental and analytical methods are now organized in a single chapter. Moreover, important topical issues such as risk and the public distrust of science are addressed. This book should be of interest to environmental engineers; hazardous material managers and legal personnel dealing with tort.
