Opis

These two volumes offer a comprehensive presentation on metal toxicology. They not only discuss metals but also the toxic endpoints, such as neurotoxicity, renal toxicity and cancer induction. Chapters are written by experts in their respective fields, focusing on carcinogenesis and human exposures and highlighting the major aspects and issues of toxicity in general.

Recenzje

"... the definitive comprehensive compendium (on the biological effects of metals)... this reviewer's enthusiastic acceptance of this book can best be summed up, 'Forget escapist novels; this is one book to have if you are stranded on a desert island!'"
-International Journal of Toxicology
