Polyvinylpyrrolidone is widely used in medicine, pharmaceuticals,
cosmetics, foods, printing inks, textiles, and many more diverse
applications. This book describes the 50 years of research,
published and unpublished, on the absorption, distribution,
storage, and excretion of PVP. The toxicology of PVP is critically
evaluated. The author's involvement in the recent reevaluation of
PVP by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the World
Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization
(FOA) led them to undertake this comprehensive review of all the
information on the subject. This book will be invaluable for anyone
who is involved with polyvinylpyrrolidone. Included is a broad
review of the toxicological studies performed on PVP, including
acute, subchronic, chronic, reproductive, mutagenicity, and
carcinogenicity studies. There is also an appendix listing the key
studies, with references, on the absorption, renal elimination,
distribution, acute toxicity, subchronic toxicity, chronic
toxicity, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity of PVP.
