Toxikologie (2–Volume Set): Band 1: Grundlagen der Toxikologie / Band 2: Toxikologie der Stoffe

Perfectly aligned with modern courses for toxicologists, this text and exam book explains all the important concepts and scientific fundamentals of the subject: from molecular toxicology right up to risk assessment and epidemiology. A particular highlight are several chapters on current major fields of research, such as the investigation and evaluation in the workplace and in buildings, as well as the risk posed by food and drugs.
The second volume of this modular textbook treats the exposition and effects of the main toxic chemicals. It systematically examines (nano–)particular materials, metals, inorganic and organic compounds and describes their chemical properties, mechanisms and toxicodynamics, supported by experimental data taken from humans and animals. One whole chapter is devoted to chemical weapons, written together with army experts.
Both volumes are backed by recommended reading and problems for self–study, while supplementary material is available online for lecturers: www.wiley–vch.de/textbooks
