Toxicological Chemistry and Biochemistry

By Stanley E. Manahan

Bridging the gap between toxicology and chemistry, this book covers both at a level understandable by a wide spectrum of readers. The author explores the role of genetics in determining individual susceptibilities to various toxicants. He provides an in-depth discussion of the interactions between environmental chemicals and living systems. The chapter on the genetic aspects of toxicology highlights how chemical damage to DNA can cause mutations, cancer, and other adverse effects on specific body systems. Retaining the basis structure that made the previous editions so popular, providing review questions and references at the end of each chapter, this book is ideal as both a textbook and a reference.
