Title: Environmental toxicology
Description: "This second edition of Environmental Toxicology focuses on the biological and health effects of environmental toxicants on living organisms, stressing the relationship between human activities and the environment, and environmental changes in relation to changing patterns of human diseases. The book discusses metabolism, toxicants and their damage process, and environmental, biological, and nutritional factors that may influence toxicity, as well as several natural defense systems including the mechanisms for detoxification - such as endogenous antioxidants and free radical scavenging enzymes - on a cellular level."--BOOK JACKET
