Step-by-step, each chapter describes the impact of climate change on a type of the toxins and their health effects, also depicted by numerous photographs and drawings. In addition, clear flow charts aid in identifying the magnitude of the health problem among the target population. Physiology and pathology of these toxins on human body is also discussed. Further topics include the impacts of global warming on drugs and other different therapeutic medications. The book provides an outlook on adaptive measures that could be taken to minimize the toxicity of these toxins, and how to minimize the health impacts.

This book assists the medical persons and environmental scientists in negotiating the steep learning curve involved in gaining the skills needed to perform predictive and therapeutic strategies for proper adaptation with climate changes, which offers significant advantages in terms of avoidance of health impact of climate change.
