Environmental toxicology is generally held to be the study of
the potential of constituents of outdoor environments to impact
either human health or the biological structure of the ecosystems
involved. This volume is a first attempt to integrate toxicological
studies of all of the many human environments, both indoor and
outdoor, and their complex interrelationships. Included are
considerations of natural environments, the agroecosystem,
occupational, urban and domestic environments as well as the
environment associated with Superfund sites and military
deployments.
The primary emphasis is on public health, including the
potential health effects of toxicants found in different
environments, the bioprocessing of such toxicants in humans and
surrogate animals and the principles of risk analysis.
*Approaches the toxicology of human environments in a new and
unique way, stressing the complex interrelationships of all human
environments and the implication for human and environmental health
*Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert and is addressed
to those interested in the broader implications of the
environmental modifications that are always associated with the
activities of humans living and working in them.
