It has long been established as a trusted, reference source for important toxicology techniques, procedures, and evaluations. The new edition includes new chapters with new authors while maintaining the same high standards that have made this book a regional resource. Main characteristics:

A leading source of information on many aspects of chemical engineering and applied chemistry, this book is a valuable resource for teachers, students, and professionals. Questions at the end of each chapter allow readers to test their knowledge and understanding of the material. All chapters have been revised and more than 60 new authors added to reflect the current state of toxicology.
New topics in this edition include safety assessment of cosmetics and personal care products, the importance of dose/rate response, new methods and other standards, epigenetic toxicology, and an expanded glossary. The book is divided into four main sections which deal with the principles of toxicology (Section I. “Principles of toxicology”), the main classes of chemical design (Section II. “Agents”) and methods currently used to assess various toxicity parameters (Section III. “Methods”) and target and organ specific toxicology (Section IV. “Organ and system specific toxicology”). This book will be an important tool for readers who wish to broaden their understanding of hazards and chemicals and stay abreast of new methods and techniques in the rapidly evolving field of toxicology and risk assessment.
