Infos

This first comprehensive treatment of the subject for more than a decade includes the latest research on nanoparticle toxicology. The practical handbook addresses all areas where toxic mixtures are encountered, from environmental via occupational to medical settings, giving special consideration to air and water, and to the specific requirements for study design in mixture toxicology. While no extensive prior knowledge or toxicological experience is required, the practice-oriented case studies and examples in the second part make this the ideal companion for the professional toxicologist in industry or healthcare institutions with little time for academic study. Starten Sie durch -- auch mit geringen Vorkenntnissen: Dieses praxisbetonte Handbuch der Toxikologie von Mischungen hält sich nicht lange bei theoretischen Überlegungen auf, sondern spricht gezielt alle Bereiche an, in denen giftige Gemische auftreten können. Anhand von Beispielen und Fallstudien aus dem Umwelt- und Arbeitsschutz (vor allem Luft und Wasser) und aus dem medizinische Umfeld wird erklärt, welche Besonderheiten bei der Planung und Auswertung der Studien zu beachten sind. Mit neuesten Forschungsergebnissen zur Toxikologie von Nanopartikeln!
