Emerging Chemical Risks in the Work Environment (Occupational Safety, Health, and Ergonomics)
Around the world, the production and use of nanomaterials, as well as carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic substances (CMR) and endocrine disruptors has systematically increased. The increase in production has exposed workers to hazardous substances in practically all branches of the world economy. Readers will have access to up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge on emerging risks related to nanomaterials, endocrine disruptors, reprotoxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic substances, which are related...
Drinking Water Safety and Contamination (Issues in Toxicology)
For the past 150 years, countries around the World have endeavoured to provide pure and wholesome drinking water for their population. The use of chlorine to disinfect water about 100 years ago led to a marked decrease in deaths from microbiological contamination. However, continual advances in industrial and agricultural processes has led to a continuing need to analyse water for chemicals and microbiologicals and assess their risk to health. This book reviews recent information on potential co...

History of Clinical Chemistry
Organic Chemistry (Hexagonal Graph Paper Notebooks, #2)
by Alun Publishing
It's the pesticide on our dinner plates, a chemical so pervasive it's in the air we breathe, our water, our soil, and even found increasingly in our own bodies. Known as Monsanto's Roundup by consumers, and as glyphosate by scientists, the world's most popular weed killer is used everywhere from backyard gardens to golf courses to millions of acres of farmland. For decades it's been touted as safe enough to drink, but a growing body of evidence indicates just the opposite, with research tying th...

Polyfluorinated Substances (PFCs) and the National Water Crisis
by Nicholas P Cheremisinoff
[Set Ethics in Nanotechnology]
With Nanotechnology being a relatively new field, the questions regarding safety and ethics are steadily increasing with the development of the research. This book aims to give an overview on the ethics associated with employing nanoscience for products with everyday applications. The risks as well as the regulations are discussed, and an outlook for the future of nanoscience on a manufacturer's scale and for the society are provided. This book presents an overview of new and emerging nanotec...
Fundamentals of Analytical Toxicology
by Robert J Flanagan, Andrew A. Taylor, Ian D. Watson, and Robin Whelpton
Fundamentals of Analytical Toxicology is an integrated introduction to the analysis of drugs, poisons, and other foreign compounds in biological and related specimens. Assuming only basic knowledge of analytical chemistry, this invaluable guide helps trainee analytical toxicologists understand the principles and practical skills involved in detecting, identifying, and measuring a broad range of compounds in various biological samples. Clear, easy-to-read chapters provide detailed information on...
Computational Radon Transport Mechanisms
by Snehashish Chakraverty and Tharasi Dilleswar Rao
Computational Radon Transport Mechanisms considers various mathematical modeling techniques for understanding radon transport mechanisms across various mediums, including soil, concrete and water. Clearly organized by types of problems, including steady and unsteady states, inverse problems, and uncertainty, the book provides clear solutions to understanding and analyzing radon transport mechanisms. In addition, the book considers recent advances that have proposed different analytical, semi-ana...
We want things to be cheap, convenient and useful. Our food arrives contaminated with pesticides and wastes, wrapped in plastic made of hormone-disrupting chemicals. We bathe and dress our children in petrochemicals. Even our coffee contains miniscule traces of arsenic, cup by cup adding to the toxins accumulating in our bodies. Man-made chemicals are creating a silent epidemic. Our children are sicker; cancer, obesity, allergies and mental health issues are on the rise in adults; and, frighten...
International concern in scientific, industrial, and governmental communi ties over traces of xenobiotics in foods and in both abiotic and biotic envi ronments has justified the present triumvirate of specialized publications in this field: comprehensive reviews, rapidly published research papers and progress reports, and archival documentations. These three international pUblications are integrated and scheduled to provide the coherency essential for nonduplicative and current progress in a fie...

Nontoxic Products: Interdisciplinary Approach to Materials Alternative Analysis
by Oladele A. Ogunseitan
The textbook presents an interdisciplinary perspective ofrationale, methods and applications of alternative assessment as aframework for making decisions regarding less-toxic consumerproducts.The book is organized according to three broad themes. The firsttheme focuses on methodology, including LCA as a tool forgenerating comparative indicators of chemical and material impactson human health and environmental quality, and multi-criteriadecision analysis approaches to interpret and integrate data...
"A clear, succinct, scientific explanation" (Deepak Chopra) of the twenty-five hot-button issues that keep today's parents up at night. Why do kids today have more allergies? Is it safe to let a child use a cell phone? Are the dangers posed by sunscreen outweighed by its protective value? Do vitamins and supplements really make a difference? These are just a few of the thousands of concerns hotly debated on the playground and in the media-but parents still lack objective knowledge on what's...
The Commemorative Pihkal and Tihkal
by Alexander Shulgin and Ann Shulgin
Toxicology
The overall theme for the Congress is "Basic Science in Toxicology". This volume is a compliation of papers presented as plenary lectures and in symposia at the Fifth International Congress of Toxicology (ICT V) held under the aegis of the International Union of Toxicology and hosted by the British Toxicology Society. The conference was held in July 1989 and was attended by over 1000 delegates.
Marc Lewis's relationship with drugs began in a New England boarding school where, as a bullied and homesick fifteen-year-old, he made brief escapes from reality by way of cough medicine, alcohol, and marijuana. In Berkeley, California, in its hippie heyday, he found methamphetamine and LSD and heroin. He sniffed nitrous oxide in Malaysia and frequented Calcutta's opium dens. Ultimately, though, his journey took him where it takes most addicts: into a life of addiction, desperation, deception, a...
This title presents a detailed overview on the full range of hazard categories and the associated risks of chemicals. It provides a basic introduction into toxicology, ecotoxicology and environmental behavior and enables all who perform precise chemical analysis to handle substances according to their intrinsic properties such as physical-chemical, environmental, ecological and toxicological hazards.
