Manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) are usually defi ned as materials purposefully produced by human activity and which have at least one dimension between 1 and 100 nm. It is important to distinguish NPs by source; the main other NPs are incidental: that is produced indirectly by…
The book highlights, supported by nearly 2700 references, more than 20 tables and 190 illustrations, the function of these versatile catalysts which act as monooxygenases and insert an oxygen atom from dioxygen into a substrate molecule oxidizing it. P450s are important in the b…
Increased in size by about one-third over the first edition published ten years ago, this three-inch thick reference is intended as a first-stop resource for toxicologists in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries and in regulatory agencies and academia--particularly those n…
"This third edition of a classic volume contains contributions from experts who provide both fundamental and applied information. Providing a fresh perspective on several topics, this edition contains completely rewritten chapters on immunotoxicology and endocrine, reproductive,…
A contribution to the ongoing debate about how to manage the growing risks of anthropogenic chemicals in the environment, this book weaves together coverage of the science that underlies toxic chemical risk assessment, the physiological and molecular bases of chemical toxicity, …
Hayes' Principles and Methods of Toxicology has long been established as a reliable reference to the concepts, methodologies, and assessments integral to toxicology. The new sixth edition has been revised and updated while maintaining the same high standards that have made this …
The book looks at 10 toxic molecules and discusses their chemistry and effects in humans, followed by a re-examination of their deliberate misuse in high profile murder cases.
Abstract: A 2-part final report of 4 committees (identification of toxic chemicals for toxicology testing; statistical sampling strategies; toxicity data elements; priority mechanisms for human health hazards) of the Board on Toxicology and Environmental Health Hazards identifie…
The proliferation of chemical substances in commerce poses significant scientific and philosophical problems. The scientific challenge is to develop data, methodologies and techniques for identifying and assessing toxic substances before they cause harm to human beings or the en…
