_Principles of Toxicology_ concisely and efficiently presents the
scientific basis for toxicology as it applies to the workplace and the
environment, covering diverse chemical hazards encountered in modern
workplaces and natural environments and providing a practical
understanding of these hazards for those concerned with protecting the
health of humans and ecosystems. The work presents not only theory,
but also practical information regarding chemical hazards to give the
student and new professional a working knowledge of the practice of
toxicology and the ability to solve problems in environmental and
industrial settings. Case histories and examples from industrial and
environmental exposures to chemicals are included to demonstrate the
application of toxicological principles. To allow for seamless reader
comprehension and further exploration of covered topics, the work is
supplemented with numerous illustrations to clarify and summarize key
points, as well as annotated bibliographies. In the 4th edition, all
chapters and references have been updated to account for the latest
scientific thinking, and new color figures have been added. New topics
covered in 4th Edition of _Principles of Toxicology_ include:
* Regulatory toxicology, including the key regulatory framework in
which much of the field of toxicology operates
* Alternative methods in toxicology, including cutting-edge
approaches to developing new information on the toxicity of drugs and
chemicals
* The dilemma of selecting safe exposure limits, guiding readers
through practical considerations and pitfalls in developing and using
safe exposure limits
* Ecological risk assessment, with detailed discussion of methods
and considerations when evaluating the effects of contaminants on
plants and animals.
Providing information on the principles of toxicology and the
application of those principles to solve problems in environmental and
industrial settings, _Principles of Toxicology_ serves as an excellent
textbook resource for advanced undergraduate, graduate, and
professional students in a range of environmental and health fields.
It is also valuable to health professionals who need toxicological
information and assistance beyond what is found in an introductory
text to general toxicology.
