Opis

Edited by one of the world's top CO experts, Carbon Monoxide Toxicity compiles scientific information and clinical research to address the gamut of health-related CO issues. Lauded by reviewers as a seminal text, it details the history of studies and explains the hidden threat of chronic low-level exposure that has made CO the leading agent in US poisoning deaths. The broad themes center on clinical management of various forms of CO poisoning and education of the public on its constant danger. The book provides a thorough review for all toxicologists, regulators, and investigators, but is especially valuable to those involved with pulmonary or combustion toxicology.
