Concepts in Toxicology

This book provides full explanations of the meaning of toxicological terms chosen for their importance and complexity from the point of merging chemistry and toxicology. Linguistic barriers can often lead to problems in obtaining a common understanding of terminology at international level and between disciplines. The explanatory definitions, provided in the book, should help to break down such barriers and will be helpful to chemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, risk assessors, regulators, medical practitioners, regulatory authorities, and everyone with an interest in the relationship of chemistry to toxicology. It should also facilitate the use of chemistry in relation to risk assessment.
