Biological and Health Effects of Pollutants, Third Edition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Looking at the effects of environmental toxicants on living systems, this book discusses the sources, metabolism, and damage process of toxicants; factors that may influence toxicity; and natural defense systems. It focuses on the chemical and biological characteristics of major pollutants-including EPA criteria air pollutants, environmental fluoride, VOCs, and pesticides-and addresses their relationship with endocrine disruption and environmental cancer. This comprehensive approach offers insight into the interaction of various chemical agents with DNA. Fully revised and expanded, the third edition of this popular book includes new and updated material as well as a new chapter on occupational toxicology.
