This new edition of a widely-read and highly-acclaimed book
broadens the scope of its predecessors from a heavy focus on
industrial chemicals as toxicants to include drugs, food additives,
cosmetics and other types of compounds that people are exposed to
daily. Also new to the 3rd edition are newer
issues-of-the-day such as nanoparticulate toxicants,
second hand smoke, food contamination, lead in toys, and
others. As such, the book provides the basics of toxicology in
easy-to-understand language as well as a fuller understanding of
the daily insults to which our bodies are subjected.
