A Small Dose of Toxicology - The Health Effects of Common Chemicals (Paperback)

Why are some individuals more sensitive to the effects of caffeine than others? Why is the developing infant so much more susceptible to the dangers of lead or mercury? How is the science of toxicology touching our lives every day? Everyday we come into contact with countless substances that could, at certain concentrations, be toxic. This applies not only to obvious candidates such as asbestos, lead and sulphur dioxide, but also compounds such as caffeine and headache tablets.
A Small Dose of Toxicology sets out to answer these questions by setting toxicology in a human context - exploring current toxicology concerns without assuming a prior background in science. Ideal for students requiring a basic foundation in toxicology or public/environmental health, or for those on professional short courses who need a primer to the subject, this engaging and wider-ranging text illustrates important toxicological principles using examples that readers can readily identify with.
