Opis

MILS-8 deals with the risk assessment of toxic metal ions and their interdependencies focusing on humans and their organs; thus it carries on the topic of MILS-7 that centered on the environment. This book is of special relevance for researchers in toxicology, enzymology, health and safety institutions, those dealing with industrial safety regulations, and also for analytical, bioinorganic, and environmental chemists.
