The Disposition of Toxic Drugs and Chemicals in Man, Eighth Edition
by Randall C. Baselt, Ph.D., Director Chemical Toxicology Institute, Foster City, California

The purpose of this work is to present in a single convenient source the current essential information on the chemicals and drugs most frequently encountered in episodes of human poisoning.  The data included relate to the body fluid concentrations of substances in normal or therapeutic situations, concentrations in fluids and tissues in instances of toxicity and the known metabolic fate of these substances in man.  Brief mention is made of specific analytical procedures that are applicable to the determination of each substance and its active metabolites in biological specimens.  The eighth edition includes an addition of 222 drugs or chemicals.  There is a greater emphasis on the inclusion of drug stability data.
