Occupational Toxicology

By Chris Winder

Focusing on chemicals found in the workplace, Occupational Toxicology introduces the basic tenets of the science of toxicology that underpin the application of toxicological information to the workplace. The book contains chapters on the most important workplace exposures, such as metals, pesticides, solvents, plastics, gases, and particulate matter, and informs the reader as to the types of toxicity seen in the workplace environment and the organs likely to be affected. The lung and the skin are given individual attention, as these are important sites of injury/disease caused by exposure to chemicals. It also covers genotoxicity, cancer, and their testing.
