This volume offers the most comprehensive presentation available on
metal toxicology. It discusses not only metals but also the toxic
endpoints, such as neurotoxicity, renal toxicity, and cancer
induction. Chapters are written by experts in their respective
fields, focusing on carcinogenesis and human exposures and
highlighting the major aspects and issues of toxicity in general.

The aim of this text is to examine the physiological development of
the fetus. It allows the reader to study the unique pharmacokinetic
and metabolic features of newborns and gives specific examples of
drug metabolism in the newborn. The purpose of this book is to
enhance the current knowledge of pharmacology of the newborn by
observing the embryo and placenta in normal and abnormal
development, placental transfer of drugs, metabolic pathways, and
metabolism of specific drugs such as theophylline, benzodiazepines,
and antibiotics. This is a useful book for those involved in
pediatric research, pharmacology, toxicology, experimental
therapeutics and biology.
Continuing a long tradition, Lu's Basic Toxicology, Seventh
Edition, combines relatively comprehensive coverage of toxic
substances in food, air, and water with brevity, thereby continuing
to serve as an updated introductory text for toxicology students
and for those involved in allied sciences that require a background
in toxicology. The new edition, which now becomes an edited work
with contributions from experts around the globe, features four new
chapters and a number of existing chapters that have been updated
and expanded, notably those on mechanisms of toxic effects,
conventional toxicity studies, the cardiovascular system, and risk
assessment and regulatory toxicology. The book consists of four
parts (Part I-Part IV) that provide guidance on principles of
toxicology and testing procedures for toxicities as well as a
concise, yet detailed, mechanism of both target organ and nontarget
organ toxicities. The book is rounded off with a final section
(Part IV) on the toxic effects of chemicals and risk assessment,
giving toxicologists, both students and practicing professionals,
the necessary tools to enhance their practice. This edition
includes new chapters on Clinical Toxicology, Systems Toxicology,
Chemicals and Children, and Toxicology of Reproductive Systems,
providing the essentials of these topics in the same style as the
other chapters in the book. With separate subject and chemical
indexes, this is a useful, quick shelf reference for everyone
working in toxicology today.
