Description
Handbook of the Toxicology of Metals is the standard reference work for physicians, toxicologists and engineers in the field of environmental
and occupational health. This new edition is a comprehensive review of the effects on biological systems from metallic elements and
their compounds. An entirely new structure and illustrations represent the vast array of advancements made since the last edition. Special
emphasis has been placed on the toxic effects in humans with chapters on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of metal poisoning.
This up-to-date reference provides easy access to a broad range of basic toxicological data and also gives a general introduction to
the toxicology of metallic compounds.
Audience
Toxicologists, physicians, and engineers in the fields of environmental and occupational health as well as libraries in these disciplines.
Will also be a useful reference for governmental regulatory agencies and public health officers.
