This book is divided into three parts: Section I, Basic Concepts in Toxicology Testing; Section II, Toxicology Testing In Vivo; and Section III, Toxicology Testing In Vitro.
The reader is challenged to interpret the significance of toxicology testing results and to construct a logical approach toward the ultimate purpose of testing. Thus, the information contained herein is presented with great enthusiasm, particularly for the students prepared to dedicate their careers to this intriguing and fascinating scientific discipline.
An essential resource for graduate students, academic and industrial toxicologists, and environmental health scientists and professionals
Over the course of thirty years and three editions, Introduction to Biochemical Toxicology has been an important source for coverage of the ongoing quest to define the biochemical, cellular, and molecular events induced by toxicants at the cellular and organismic levels. Now, as the principles and methods of molecular and cellular biology as well as genomic sciences play an ever increasing role in mechanistic toxicology, significant changes have been made to the book, resulting in this important new edition-now titled Molecular and Biochemical Toxicology, Fourth Edition.
Hodgson E. Textbook of modern toxicology. 3rd edition
Toxicology is the science of poisons, embracing the physical and chemical study of all the known poisonous substances, as well as the methods of testing for them, their action on the living body, and the postmortem results they occasion. This text proves the resource on the subject for both students and practicing professionals.
The objective of Inhalation Toxicology is to provide the practicing professional as well as the aspiring student with a pragmatic textbook. Included in Inhalation Toxicology are contributions from scientists in the academic, commercial/industrial, and governmental sectors focusing on regulatory aspects of exposure and testing, testing equipment and procedures, biomarkers and pathology of exposure, respiratory allergy and irritation of the respiratory tract, risk assessment, bioaerosols ranging from household molds to anthrax and botulinum toxin, low-level exposures, toxicology theory and toxicology modeling, and toxic effects of some individual toxicants ranging from tobacco smoke to botulinum toxins.
Concise and authoritative, Clinical Toxicology: Principles and Mechanisms examines the complex interactions associated with clinical toxicological events and chemical exposure or drug administration. The author places special emphasis on signs and symptoms of diseases and pathology caused by toxins and clinical drugs.
