GMOS and Political Stance: Global GMO Regulation, Certification,
Labeling, and Consumer Preferences provides a
foundational-to-current challenges resource for those involved in
developing and applying regulations to these important resources.
Beginning with basics of GMOs, the book first familiarizes the
reader with the history, economic status, associated risks, global
politics, and socio-economics of GMOs. From exploring the necessity
of GMO regulations with the existing GMO technology as well as new
gene editing technologies to discussion by GMO regulations experts
from different continents and countries, readers will find the
information necessary to understand the laws, rules, regulations
and policies at domestic and international scale. A last chapter
delivers an update and future look on gene-edited food and feed and
discusses the possibilities on the future risk assessment,
legislation and regulation of gene-edited products. GMOS and
Political Stance provides a unique and applicable synchronization
of all regulatory information on GMOs to facilitate effective and
efficient regulatory development and adherence.
Exposure and Risk Assessment of Pesticide Use in Agriculture:
Approaches, Tools and Advances offers an overview of the different
methods available in toxicology for pesticide exposure and risk
assessment, ranging from the regulatory field, to in-field research
studies. The book provides technical background on each method,
describing known and grounded tools, new uses of tools and
development prospects. This book is ideal for researchers in
pesticide toxicology, exposure toxicology, toxicologic risk
assessment, occupational hygiene and medicine, and pesticide
toxicology as well as occupational health and industrial hygiene
practitioners, regulatory experts of corporate and public bodies,
and advanced students.
Toxicological Risk Assessment and Multisystem Health Impacts From
Exposure highlights the emerging problems of human and
environmental health attributable to cumulative and multiple
sources of long-term exposure to environmental toxicants. The book
describes the cellular, biological, immunological, endocrinologic,
genetic, and epigenetic effects of long-term exposure. It examines
how the combined exposure to nanomaterials, metals,
pharmaceuticals, multifrequency radiation, dietary mycotoxins, and
pesticides accelerates ecotoxicity in humans, animals, plants, and
the larger environment. The book goes on to also offer insights
into mixture risk assessments, protocols for evaluating the risks,
and how this information can serve the regulatory agencies in
setting safer exposure limits. The book is a go-to resource for
scientists and professionals in the field tackling the current and
emerging trends in modern toxicology and risk assessment.
