FA1/4hrende Experten geben Einblick in die grundlegenden Prozesse der toxikologischen Regulierung. Die wichtigen Fragen zu Risikoanalyse, Risikobewertung und Risikomanagement werden jeweils in einem eigenen Kapitel beantwortet. Weitere Themen gelten den neuesten Arbeitsmethoden und Beurteilungsgrundlagen, dem Spannungsfeld zwischen naturwissenschaftlichen Argumenten und weltanschaulichen Aspekten sowie den Grundlagen von Gesundheits-, Verbraucher-, Umwelt- und Arbeitsschutz. Ein "Muss" fA1/4r alle, die in BehArden, Industrie, UniversitAten oder anderen Institutionen mit der toxikologischen Beurteilung und Beratung befasst sind.

This book will be written by experts for professionals, scientists and all those involved in toxicological data generation and decision-making. It is the updated and expanded version of a monograph published in German in 2004. Chemical safety is regulated on various levels including production, storage, transport, handling, disposal or labelling. This book deals comprehensively with the safety-ensuring methods and concepts employed by regulatory agencies, industry and academics. Toxicologists use experimental and scientific approaches for data collection, e.g. about chemical hazards, physicochemical features or toxicokinetics. The respective experimental methods are described in the book. Toxicologists also deal with much insecurity in the exposure and effect scenarios during risk assessment. To overcome these, they have different extrapolation methods and estimation procedures at their disposal. The book describes these methods in an accessible manner. Differing concepts from one regulation area to another are also covered. Reasons and consequences become evident when reading the book. Altogether, the book Regulatory Toxicology will serve as an excellent reference."
