"Tetrachloroethylene is a volatile, chlorinated organic hydrocarbon that is widely used as a solvent in the dry-cleaning and textile-processing industries and as an agent for degreasing metal parts. It is an environmental contaminant that has been detected in the air, groundwate…
First published in 1986: The purpose of these volumes is to provide a valuable reference for established investigators and postgraduate students in toxicology.
First Published in 1986, this two-volume set explores the methods of toxicological risk assessment. Carefully compiled and filled with a vast repertoire of notes, diagrams, and references this book serves as a useful reference for toxicologists and other practitioners in their r…
"This fascinating work features such topics as the relationships between iodine deficiency and goiter, fluorine deficiency and caries, selenium deficiency and muscular degeneration, mercury surplus and specific nerve diseases, cadmium surplus and kidney failure. This one-of-a-ki…

Extremely hazardous substances (EHSs)²can be released accidentally as a result of chemical spills, industrial explosions, fires, or accidents involving railroad cars and trucks transporting EHSs. Workers and residents in communities surrounding industrial facilities where EHSs a…
Aflatoxins are produced by Aspergillus fungi species, are responsible for damage to 25% of the world's food crop, and also cause human and animal disease in countries where using contaminated grain cannot be avoided. Scientists, most from the southern US, review the progress mad…
Annotation This title examines the global pattern of arsenic concentration and speciation in rice, discusses human exposures to inorganic arsenic and the resulting health risks. It outlines approaches for lowering arsenic in the human diet through agronomic management.

"This Fourth Edition provides tools for the rigorous and critical analysis of experimental data. Assuming only basic mathematical skills, the book provides a complete and exhaustive introduction to the statistical methods available and updates all material to cover current pract…
"Ecotoxicology is the study of the movement of environmental contaminants through ecosystems and their effects on plants and animals. Examining tissue residues of these contaminants in biota is basic to ecotoxicology, both for understanding the movement of contaminants within or…
