The book discusses both acute and chronic effects, discussing many aspects of arsenic, from physical and chemical properties, exposure, epidemiology, organ toxicity, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Fully updated and revised, this new edition includes new topics on risk assessment, molecular mechanisms of arsenic, advances in the integrated approach to testing, 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, providing them with all they 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 countermeasures
Researchers in the fields of toxicology, pharmacology, biochemistry and environmental science. Medical practitioners
All chapters will be revised. New chapters will include topics on:
o Advances in the Integrated Approach to Testing and Assessment and development
o Evaluation and application of high content predictive models
o New alternative methods (NAMS) in the context of Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) to assess toxicology
o Molecular mechanisms of arsenic
o Risk Assessment
