Opis

This is a compilation of questions with answers for students of toxicology. The questions are a mixture of short answer, problem-solving, data interpretation and multiple choice and cover all the major areas of toxicology, including mechanisms of toxicity, toxic responses, factors affecting the toxicity of compounds and the metabolism and disposition of toxic compounds. The book should also be useful for qualified toxicologists and scientists working in related areas who are preparing for internal examinations.
