Book Description
This unique book bridges the gap between toxicology and chemistry at a level
understandable by a wide spectrum of readers with various interests and
a broad range of backgrounds in chemistry, biochemistry, and
toxicology. The third edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded
to reflect recent advances in important areas of research, including
toxicogenetics and toxic effects on various body systems. Toxicological
Chemistry and Biochemistry, Third Edition begins by outlining the basic
concepts of general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry
needed to understand the topics in the book. The author then presents an
overview of environmental chemistry so that you can understand the
remainder of the material covered within that framework. He also
discusses biodegradation, bioaccumulation, and biochemical processes
that occur in water and soil.
The new chapter on toxic effects considers toxicities to the endocrine and reproductive systems, and the section on xenobiotics analysis deals with the determination of toxicants and their metabolites in blood and other biological materials. The chapter on the genetic aspects of toxicology discusses the ways in which chemical damage to DNA can cause mutations, cancer, and other toxic effects on specific body systems, and it considers the role of genetics in determining individual susceptibilities to various toxicants.
Toxicological Chemistry and Biochemistry, Third Edition retains the basic information and structure that made the first two editions popular with students and industry professionals, while enhancing the usefulness of the book and modernizing it in important areas. Review questions and supplementary references at the end of each chapter round out the third edition of this bestselling work.
