A must have reference handbook for Toxicologists and Regulatory Scientists July 12, 2007
This book is recommended for both regulatory scientists and toxicologists dealing with metals exposures. The first 16 chapters cover fundamental concepts in metals toxicology and provide good coverage of factors important in health risk assessment. These preliminary chapters detail for the reader the myriad of issues that need to be taken into account when assessing metals and environmental data while drawing on relevant literature to illustrate points being made. Detailed reviews of individual metals are provided in subsequent chapters and it is invaluable having such in-depth coverage in a single volume. It would appear that some chapters were initially written a couple of years prior to publication so that the most recent information is not always included, but this is to be expected in such a publication. This handbook is highly recommended for anyone dealing with the toxicology of metals and is a must have for toxicologists involved in the assessment of environmental data.
