DESCRIPTION:
The book continues with a cellular, complex organism, and ecosystem analysis of toxicology principles including risk assessment. A forensic approach analyzes complex organisms from outside to inside. The cellular section follows common mechanisms from the outside to the inside of cells and individual organelles. The ecosystem section starts with a dispersion approach to determine environmental concentration and addresses toxicants in divisions similar to how the EPA determines impacts. Understanding Toxicology begins with three research questions that challenge the reader to discover what information is needed to solve controversies at the level of the cell, the complex organism, and the ecosystem. Key Features • Uses lively, engaging examples making the text fun and easy to read and understand • Allows the reader to approach the subject from a research perspective as well as a public policy perspective • Covers biological toxicants including venoms, poisons, as well as microbial and fungal toxins, and plant toxins • Thoroughly cover
