Pages : 988
Book Description
Handbook of Arsenic Toxicology, Second Edition presents the latest findings on arsenic, including its chemistry, sources and effects on the environment and human health. The book discusses both acute and chronic effects, discussing many aspects of arsenic, from physical and chemical properties, exposure, epidemiology, organ toxicity, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Fully updated and revised, this new edition includes new topics on risk assessment, molecular mechanisms of arsenic, advances in the integrated approach to testing, assessment and development, evaluation and application of high content predictive models, and new alternative methods (NAMS) in the context of Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) to assess toxicology. This comprehensive resource allows readers to effectively assess the risks related to arsenic, providing them with all they need to know on arsenic exposure, toxicity and toxicity prevention. Brings together current findings on the effects of arsenic on the environment and human health Includes state-of-the-art techniques in arsenic toxicokinetics, speciation and molecular mechanisms Provides all the information needed for effective risk assessment, prevention and countermeasures

Book Description
Excerpt from Manual of Toxicology: Including the Consideration of the Nature, Properties, Effects, and Means of Detection of Poisons, More Especially in Their Medico-Legal Relations A new work on Toxicology will doubtless be regarded by some as uncalled for, since there already exist so many excellent treatises on this subject, both in our own and in foreign languages. This objection, however, might be equally urged against new publications in almost every department of science: there is scarcely one of which it may not be affirmed that its literature is already abundantly supplied. Yet this does not deter new authors from venturing before the public, prompted, doubtless, by the desire of offering something of at least a passing value, and of adding, it may be, a fragment to the store of human knowledge. The author is fully aware that the field of investigation on which he has entered has already been very thoroughly explored by others. Names illustrious in the annals of medical and toxicological science are identified with this subject throughout the civilized world. Yet he ventures to hope that the present treatise will be found a useful text book, both by the student and the teacher of Toxicology. From an experience of a number of years, he may presume to speak with some authority to the former, as likewise with some degree of confidence to the latter, upon topics with which he is personally familiar. His aim has been to convey his meaning in the simplest style and phraseology, believing this to be the most efficient method of teaching others.

Book Description
The Dose Makes the Poison A Plain-Language Guide to Toxicology Second Edition M. Alice Ottoboni Increasing media coverage of reports on the effects of chemicals, new recognition within government and industry of the need to protect against exposure, and other current issues are elevating the public's concern about the health effects of synthetic chemicals in our environment. Unfortunately, much of this concern is based more on sensational news reports and half-truths than on scientific facts. This second edition of a widely read and highly acclaimed work reviews and explains the facts of chemical dangers in a clear and understandable manner. It objectively discusses the factors determining whether chemicals in our air, food, and water are harmful or harmless, and puts the dose - response relationship of chemicals in proper perspective. Effects of chemicals encountered at home and at work are presented in layman's language to assure understanding without having to turn to other references. Thoughtful discussions of controversial issues help you to understand news media reports on toxicology, avoid the half-truths that lead to "poison paranoia," and make informed judgments about our use and control of chemicals. Extensively revised, the second edition is also reorganized to expedite access to specific information. All experimental and analytical methods are in one section, and references to the origins of toxicology and regulation of chemicals are in another separate section to improve ease of reading. In addition, coverage of subjects such as public distrust of science, epidemiology, reproductive toxicology, and risk have been expanded to provide a better understanding of the relationship of toxicology to current environmental problems. All aspects of exposure and its effects are reviewed, including How chemicals cause harm-toxicity, sensitization, corrosiveness, irritation, radioactivity, and other properties Routes of exposure-skin, inhalation, oral, and combinations Factors that influence degree of toxicity-species, age, sex, nutrition, state of health, presence of other chemicals, adaptation, and possibly, light Chemicals that cause cancer and birth defects Chapters on toxicity of chemicals address no-effect levels and thresholds, margins of safety, and bioaccumulation. You'll see how the effects of chemicals are studied and how health problems are traced to environmental causes. Also clarified are differences between actual risk and perceived risk of various chemicals. With the media presenting us daily with new findings on chemical risks, this book provides a welcome "antidote" to the confusion. The Dose Makes the Poison is an easy-to-read review of toxicology that has become "required reading" for scientists and managers throughout industry; public health officials; environmental scientists; industrial hygienists; hazardous waste workers ; and anyone who wishes to improve his or her understanding of toxic chemicals without taking the time to go back to school.
