This book, comprised of 23 chapters written by contributing authors who are experts in the specific field, introduces readers to toxicology and its applications in the workplace and environment. The authors cover the chemical hazards found in the workplace and explain how these hazards can effect human health and the environment. The second edition includes new chapters on toxicokinetics, omics-technologies, developmental toxicity, nano-toxicology, computational toxicology and determination causation. More advanced than standard introductory toxicology courses but with a more applied focus than most advanced classes, this book was specifically designed for health care professionals, occupational physicians, occupational health engineers, and environmental scientists who wish to expand their knowledge of toxicological concerns.
