Toxicological carcinogenesis

This book is directed primarily toward toxicology, medical, and other health professional students. Identification of carcinogens through experiments in animals and determination of the relevance of the results to humans, even on a qualitative basis, are still among the most difficult problems facing the community. Medical students and some qualified practitioners who have to talk to members of the general public who have contracted cancer may find the text helpful. Students of organic chemistry as well as a variety of chemical engineering disciplines may also find it useful, insofar as it will alert them to those agents that may pose a threat to the health of the workforce. Possibly, some members of the general lay public, who are concerned with the health of the community, may find it rewarding to read.
