Table of contents:
Introduction to environmental toxicology; toxicological concepts; dose- response relationships; absorption of toxicants; distrobution and storage of toxicants; biotransformation and elimination of toxicants; target organ toxicityl teratogenesis, mutagenesis and carcinogenesis; environmental toxicants; risk assessment.
This introductory text addresses the principles and mechanisms of toxicology as applied to environmentally-encountered toxic agents. Each chapter concludes with review questions that may be used for student self-testing and topics covered include dose response, hazards and risk assessment, determination of toxicity, pesticides, metals, plastics, organic solvents, environmental carcinogens, teratogens and mutagens.
