| Summary |
The fundamental principles of environmental toxicology are clearly presented here for university students and professionals in related fields. This book consists of two parts. In the first part basic metabolic, physiological and pharmacological concepts are used to explain the fate of toxic chemicals in the body, with emphasis on carcinogenesis and mutagenesis. The second section deals with specific environmental problems - air pollution, alteration of the earth's atmosphere, water and land pollution - including sections on wetlands, organic agriculture and genetically modified crops |
