description: The purpose of this Handbook is to provide a concise summary of the diagnosis and treatment of clinically important poisons. Many other potentially poisonous agents which have not been important clinically are included in tabular form. The necessity of such a book has grown out of the rapidly expanding importance of chemical products in industrial, agricultural, and domestic processes. These substances have been introduced commercially in a bewildering variety of new preparations whose nature is often disguised by a coined name. In this book, poisons have been organized into industrial, agricultural, household, medicinal, and natural hazards, since this method allows considerable correlation of poisons with types of exposure.
