New Psychoactive Substances: An Analytical Chemistry Perspective places in a general frame the challenge of the introduction and consume of new psychoactive drugs, their identification and quantification, paying attention of the three main aspects: the target molecules, the analytical tools and the matrices in which the new psychoactive substances (NPS) can be found. So, the book will provide a guide in NPS analysis with a complete information about their chemical structure and effects on the human health. So offering complementary information to the readers from the pharmacology to the law aspects.
- An updated evaluation of NPS available in the market
- A deep evaluation of the pharmacology and effect of NPS on human health
- A guide for the Analytical Chemistry determination of NPS in different kind of samples
Degree and master students in chemistry (Analytical), Forensic Sciences, Pharmacy (Pharmacology) and Medicine (Toxicology) together with researchers on Analytical Chemistry, Medicine, Forensic Sciences and applied laboratories on drug control and toxicity
