"Principles of toxicology : environmental and industrial applications, this edition provides health protection professionals as well as environmental scientists with precise, up-to-date, practical information on how to apply the science of toxicology in both the occupational and environmental setting. Through contributions from leading experts in diverse fields. Principles of toxicology, second edition features :

• - Clear explanations of the fundamentals necessary for an understanding of the effects of chemical hazards on human health and ecosystems
• - Coverage of occupational medicine and epidemiological issues
• - The manifestation of toxic agents such as metals, pesticides, organic solvents, and natural toxins
• - Special emphasis on the evaluation and control of toxic hazards
• - Specific case histories on applying risk assessment methods in the modern workplace
• - Ample figures, references, and a comprehensive glossary of toxicological terms

"Designed as a first-stop reference for researchers and professionals in toxicology, pharmacology and medicine, this handbook is the to tie together the knowledge from many disciplines that has so far been available only from widely dispersed sources in the primary literature. As such, it presents the complete picture on what is currently known about endogenous toxins, including their generation, mode of action, resulting disease condition, and available countermeasures. Clearly divided into four parts, the first systematically covers important toxic molecule species, including metabolic intermediates and reactive oxygen species. The second discusses the role of genetically determined metabolic malfunctions, such as galactosemia, hyperlipidemia, porphyria, hemochromatosis and related conditions, while part three looks at acquired and chronic diseases caused or exacerbated by endogenous toxins, such as hepatic injury, asthma, rheumatism, colorectal cancer, reperfusion diseases, neurodegneration and aging. The final part reviews currents strategies to control and minimize the effect of endogenous toxins, either by nutritional or pharmacological interventions. With its complete coverage integrating molecular and systemic aspects from the biochemical basis to human disease conditions."

"This is the definitive, one-stop resource on preclinical drug evaluation for potential mitochondrial toxicity, addressing the issue upfront in the drug development process. It discusses mitochondrial impairment to organs, skeletal muscle, and nervous systems and details methodologies used to assess mitochondria function. It covers both in vitro and in vivo methods for analysis and includes the latest models. "

"Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is becoming increasingly important in human health risk assessments and in supporting pharmacodynamic modeling for toxic responses. Organized by classes of compounds and modeling purposes so users can quickly access information, this is the first comprehensive reference of its kind.This book presents an overview of the underlying principles of PBPK model development. Then it provides a compendium of PBPK modeling information, including historical development, specific modeling challenges, and current practices for, halogenated alkanes, alkene and aromatic compounds, reactive vapors in the nasal cavity, alkanes, oxyhydrocarbons, and related compounds, pesticides and persistent organic pollutants, dioxin and related compounds, metals and inorganic compounds, drugs, antineoplastic agents, perinatal transfer, mixtures, dermal exposure models."
