Toxicological Chemistry, 2nd Edition provides an easy-to-understand general discussion of biological processes operating on environmental chemical species. It also focuses on the chemistry of toxic substances based on their interactions with biological tissue and living organisms. The book is designed to appeal to readers with diverse general backgrounds. It assumes only a minimal background in chemistry and none in biology or microbiology. Introductory material regarding these fields is presented in the first few chapters so that more sophisticated topics can be addressed throughout the remainder of the book. Detailed discussions about specific areas of research are avoided, although key references on major topics are provided for readers who require more in-depth information.
Toxicological Chemistry, 2nd Edition is useful for anyone concerned with the biological fate and effects of chemicals. It is ideal as a general reference book, source of background material, or textbook for regulatory personnel, students, engineers with consulting firms, health and safety personnel, and others.
