Hazardous agents are an ongoing concern in the modern workplace,
with many examples of workers being severely affected by chemicals
as a result of both acute and chronic exposure. Occupational
Toxicology, 2nd Edition introduces the basics of toxicology that
underpin the application of toxicological information to the
workplace environment. The book contains chapters on the most
important workplace exposures such as metals, pesticides, solvents,
plastics, gases, and particulate matter, as well as the organs
likely to be affected. The lungs and the skin are given individual
consideration as common sites of injury and disease caused by
exposure to chemicals. Genotoxicity and cancer are also singled out
for particular attention due to ongoing concern about
cancer-related effects of chemicals. Important fields interfacing
with occupational toxicology - hygiene, epidemiology, and
occupational medicine - are also covered to assist the reader in
understanding the necessity of cross-discipline considerations in
dealing with workplace exposures. This practical approach makes
this book particularly valuable to students of toxicology as well
as to occupational health and safety professionals at all levels.
