Booknews, Inc. , March 1, 1996: A massive reference
for poison center health professionals, hospital emergency-department
and critical-care physicians, industrial hygienists, regulatory
personnel, and others in the medical or health care industry.
Covers the main topics principles of poison management,
drugs, the home, chemicals, and natural toxins in each area
of the world. Avoids the temptation to extrapolate from
animal data to clinical experience, and cites animal studies
only to indicate the mechanism of action of toxic effects.
First published in 1988 by Elsevier as Medical Toxicology
and here both updated and augmented with topics that reviewers,
physicians, and students found missing. Includes drawings
of toxic plants and eight pages of color photographs of
common poisonous snakes from around the world. Annotation

Book Description: The Encyclopedia of Toxicology
provides a comprehensive
collection of concise explanations of basic principles in
toxicology
and the potential hazards of chemicals. Written by highly
qualified
contributors and containing a broad selection of topics,
the
Encyclopedia of Toxicology is of value to both toxicologists
and
non-toxicologists, including physicians, attorneys, regulators,
safety
managers, and environmental engineers--anyone whose work
involves the
health and safety issues of common and uncommon substances.
This three-volume set plays a critical role at the intermediate
level
by offering more detail than a dictionary while remaining
accessible
to the generalist in risk assessment, regulation, and consulting.
The
Encyclopedia includes entries related to research and clinical
toxicology, risk assessment, ecotoxicology, epidemiology,
radiation,
noise, information resources, organizations, and education.
Key Features:
Provides an excellent selection of topics with more
than 750 entries
Addresses basic, critical, and controversial elements
in toxicology
Overviews key concepts and summarizes the hazardous
properties of hundreds of chemicals
Contains individual entries for both concepts and compounds--each
chemical and metal has its own entry
Provides extensive coverage of regulatory issues
Organizes information in a highly structured format
for easy reference
Includes a detailed index and numerous cross references
to primary and
