General and Applied Toxicology Summary

General and Applied Toxicology by Bryan Ballantyne

This one volume abridged version of the existing and highly acclaimed two volume work, is intended to give a comprehensive review of the scientific basis of toxicology and its application and to be used both as a text for educational purposes and as a reference volume. This textbook should therefore be of use for those working toward a first or higher degree in toxicology or in courses with a toxicological facet, or for those reading for certification in general or specialist toxicology; e.g for examinations such as those of the Royal College of Pathologists, Institute of Biology and American Board in Toxicology. Additionally this one volume should serve as a useful reference text for general, industrial, environmental, forensic, and experimental toxicologists who wish to buy their own personal copy; this applies also to occupational health physicians, industrial hygienists, epidemiologists, experimental and general pathologists, biochemists and pharmacologists.
