Handbook of Arsenic Toxicology

Handbook of Arsenic Toxicology presents the latest findings on arsenic: its chemistry, its sources, and its effects on the environment and human health. The book discusses acute and chronic effects on human health, taking you systematically through each aspect of arsenic beginning from physical and chemical properties, exposure, epidemiology, organ toxicity, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Fully updated and revised, the Second edition of Handbook of Arsenic Toxicology includes new topics on risk assessment, molecular mechanisms of arsenic, advances in the Integrated Approach to Testing and Assessment and development, evaluation and application of high content predictive models, and new alternative methods (NAMS) in the context of Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) to assess toxicology. This comprehensive resource allows readers to effectively assess the risks related to arsenic and provide all you need to know on arsenic exposure, toxicity and toxicity prevention. Brings together current findings on the effects of arsenic on the environment and human health Includes state-of-the-art techniques in arsenic toxicokinetics, speciation, and molecular mechanisms Provides all the information needed for effective risk assessment, prevention, and countermeasure
