James C. Fishbein + 1 more
English

Advances in Molecular Toxicology, Volume Fourteen, features the latest advances in the subspecialties of the broad area of molecular toxicology. This series details the study of the molecular basis of toxicology by which a vast array of agents encountered in the human environment, and produced by the human body, manifest themselves as toxins. The work not only documents these examples, but also covers the complex web of chemical and biological events that give rise to toxin-induced symptoms and disease. The new technologies that are being harnessed to analyze and understand these events are also reviewed by leading experts in the field.

Poison: A Double-Edged Civilizational Building Block

1st Edition
January 1, 2029
Jean Pascal Zanders
English

Poison: A Double-edged Civilizational Building Block, Volume One, Reexamining the History of Chemical and Biological Warfare (Antiquity to 1899), the new release in the History of Toxicology and Environmental Health series traces the history of poison as a weapon of war, beginning at the dawn of modern humans and going through to the 1899 Hague Peace Conference. The book analyzes the technological developments that enable and constrain the use of poison as a weapon, their history of use, and the tensions that exist between opportunity and prohibition of poison warfare, and between prohibition and technological progress. This book will be of interest to researchers and students interested in toxicology and chemical and biological warfare agents, as well as policymakers, military historians and those interested in scientific history.

Handbook of Cleaning Solvents

1st Edition
January 1, 2029
John Durkee
English

High-precision cleaning is required across a wide range of sectors, including aerospace, defense, medical device manufacturing, pharmaceutical processing, semiconductor / electronics, etc. In this reference work, John Durkee provides a comprehensive guide to all the main materials and reagents involved in the cleaning of surfaces, providing key data alongside practical guidance on applications and techniques and advice about health and environmental aspects. This handbook is a reference guide that covers all solvent types in industrial use for surface cleaning applications. Durkee's comprehensive coverage includes the cleaning solvents of the past (hydrocarbon), present (halogenated including fluorinated and iodated), and future (binary azeotropes and ionic liquids), including underused cleaning agents (e.g. oxygenated). The spectrum of information included starts with synthesis methods, supplies the normal physical properties (e.g. surface tension), explains the current applications and potential uses, and provides thorough safety, environmental, and health information.

Comprehensive Computational Toxicology

1st Edition
November 2, 2026
Asish Kumar Mohapatra
English

"Comprehensive Computational Toxicology" is an authoritative resource in the field of computational toxicology, addressing the rapidly advancing landscape of artificial intelligence. This three-volume work takes an interdisciplinary approach to explore computational toxicology and toxicoinformatics, focusing on systems biology and systems toxicology. Regulatory validation and acceptance of many tools and methodologies remain slow. At the same time, there is already a paradigm shift of moving from experimental animal-based models to more predictive in silico/computational models. This resource adopts a forward-looking, solution-oriented approach to promote next-generation applications of tools, methodologies, and frameworks. In addition to covering concepts, principles, and theoretical frameworks, the work includes specific case studies that demonstrate the transformation of time-intensive toxicological methods into new approach methodologies for risk assessments. "Comprehensive Computational Toxicology" provides authoritative information to a diverse audience, including advanced students, post-doctoral researchers, clinical and environmental health toxicologists, as well as professionals in academia, regulation, and industry.
