Description and Table of Contents

Description

This two-volume work gives comprehensive coverage of the scientific basis of toxicology and its applications. Both general and specialist needs are considered, with particular reference to basic principles, definitions, laboratory aspects, interpretations of data and practical applications of toxicology. Thus, there are sections devoted to basic concepts, techniques, toxicity by specific routes of exposure and by organ system, special aspects of toxicology, and the increasingly dominant area of regulatory toxicology. The book is designed so that it can be used as a sole or main text for course work for examinations such as those of the Royal College of Pathologists, Institute of Biology and American Board of Toxicology. It contains work by 70 international contributors.
