Principles And Practice Of Toxicology In Public Health
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

All public health professionals should have some level of knowledge of the basic principles of Toxicology. Whether dealing with issues as diverse as a workers’ compensation claim for a job-related exposure and injury or the removal of toxic wastes from an urban community, public health professionals must be able to communicate with each other, the public, and our political leaders concerning how chemicals can, and the conditions under which they may, realistically produce harm. Principles and Practice of Toxicology in Public Health provides students with an understanding of the nature and scope of the discipline, so that they may be prepared to participate in a meaningful way in the often highly visible problem-solving and decision-making processes required of public health professionals. In four sections, it offers an introduction to the field, as well as the basics of toxicology principles, systemic toxicity, and toxicology practice. The text is immediately readable for the student with little technical background. The Second Edition is a thorough update that has been expaneded with a new chapter on endocrine toxicology.

There haven't been many text books that I would say are well written and easy to understand; however, this is one of them. This is an introduction to Toxicology and the book really breaks down concepts so they are easy to understand. Furthermore, they include real world examples which helps me learn and I find very interesting.Whether you are taking this class or just want a book that explains basic toxicology, this book does a good job.

Great, informative book that provides a well-rounded introduction to toxicology. Kindle version has page numbers to easily follow along in class.

Key words are not in bold print and are therefore difficult to find when reviewing.

Nice clean book. Looks new if you didnt see some of the markings done to it.
