Summary

"Here, you'll first get a skill-building review of the basic components of toxicology, including general principles, modes of action, and chemical-specific toxicity. The book then offers a revealing look at the systemic responses of toxic substances, before concluding with a two-part environmental toxicology chapter that puts air pollution and ecotoxicology into perspective."--BOOK JACKET.
