Focusing on chemicals in the workplace, Occupational Toxicology introduces the basic tenets of the science of toxicology that underpin the application of toxicological information to the workplace. The book contains chapters on the most important workplace exposures such as metals, pesticides, solvents, plastics, gases, and particulate matter and informs the reader as to the types of toxicity seen in the workplace environment and the organs likely to be affected. The lung and the skin are given individual attention as these are important sites of injury/disease caused by exposure to chemicals. It also covers genotoxicity, cancer, and their testing.

A fully updated and expanded edition of the bestselling guide on toxicology and its practical application The field of toxicology has grown enormously since Industrial Toxicology: Safety and Health Applications in the Workplace was first published in 1985. And while the original edition was hugely popular among occupational health professionals, the time is ripe to address toxic agents not only in the industrial setting but also in the environment at large. Renamed Principles of Toxicology: Environmental and Industrial Applications, this new edition provides health protection professionals as well as environmental scientists with precise, up-to-date, practical information on how to apply the science of toxicology in both the occupational and environmental setting. Through contributions from leading experts in diverse fields, Principles of Toxicology, Second Edition features: Clear explanations of the fundamentals necessary for an understanding of the effects of chemical hazards on human health and ecosystems Coverage of occupational medicine and epidemiological issues The manifestation of toxic agents such as metals, pesticides, organic solvents, and natural toxins Special emphasis on the evaluation and control of toxic hazards Specific case histories on applying risk assessment methods in the modern workplace Ample figures, references, and a comprehensive glossary of toxicological terms
