About this book

Clinical Toxicology is the second volume of a three-volume set on molecular, clinical and environmental toxicology that offers a comprehensive and in-depth response to the increasing importance and abundance of chemicals of daily life. By providing intriguing insights far down to the molecular level, this three-volume work covers the entire range of modern toxicology with special emphasis on recent developments and achievements. It is written for students and professionals in medicine, science, public health or engineering who are demanding reliable information on toxic or potentially harmful agents and their adverse effects on the human body.

Reviews

From the reviews: “This second volume in a three-part work … focusing on various aspects of toxicology is a collection of scientific synopses addressing contemporary research findings in clinical areas. … Each chapter offers a wealth of current primary references. The volume also includes diagrams and tables when appropriate and a brief glossary of clinical toxicology acronyms. It can serve as a useful technical resource for law schools and medical schools. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections.” (B. R. Shmaefsky, Choice, Vol. 47 (10), June, 2010)
