Handbook on the Toxicology of Metals: Volume I: General Considerations
About this book
Handbook on the Toxicology of Metals, Fifth Edition, Volume I: General Considerations is the first volume of a two-volume work that gives an overview and covers topics of general importance including reviews of various health effects of trace metals. The book emphasizes toxic effects in humans, along with discussions on the toxic effects of animals and biological systems in vitro when relevant. The book has been systematically updated with the latest studies and advances in technology and contains several new chapters. As a multidisciplinary resource that integrates both human and environmental toxicology, the book is a comprehensive and valuable reference for toxicologists, physicians, pharmacologists, and environmental scientists in the fields of environmental, occupational and public health.
- Contains peer-reviewed chapters that deal with the effects of metallic elements and their compounds on biological systems
- Includes information on sources, transport and the transformation of metals in the environment
- Covers the ecological effects of metals to provide a basis for better understanding of the potential for adverse effects on human health
- Provides critical information on the properties, use, biological monitoring, dose-response relationships, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of metallic elements and compounds
