An increased understanding of the environmental and human health impacts of engineered nanoparticles is essential for the responsible development of nanotechnology and appropriate evidence-based policy and guidelines for risk assessment. Presenting the latest advances in the fie…
This book provides a thorough and up-to-date overview of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and its unique dual role in toxicology and biology. The coverage includes epigenetic mechanisms, gene expression, reproductive and developmental toxicity, signal transduction, and transg…
In the first book to focus on the topic for toxicologists, chemists, biologists, pharmacologists, and others studying biochemistry, physiology, toxicology, and related disciplines, Pohjanvirta (toxicology, U. of Helsinki, Finland) brings together 35 chapters that review a wide r…

"This book introduces the use of risk analysis as a tool for responsible environmental decision making in nanotechnology development, providing concise, yet informative, narratives on the topics of toxicology, occupational health and safety, and environmental implications of nan…
Wildlife Toxicity Assessments for Chemicals of Military Concern is a compendium of chemical-specific toxicity information with discussions on the rationale and development of Wildlife Toxicity Reference Values (TRVs) intended for use on terrestrial wildlife for risk assessment a…
Outlines ways in which all of us can eliminate our exposures to dangerous chemicals ; and how parents can create a safe, nontoxic environment for their children.
The interplay between environmental chemical exposures and obesity: proceedings of a workshop
by Pool, Robert, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.)., Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine, Interplay between Environmental Chemical Exposures and Obesity (Workshop), Research Triangle Park , N.C.)
"In March 2015, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop to explore the role that chemical exposures may play in the development of obesity. The obesity epidemic that has gripped the United States and much of the developed world for the past …
