Mixture Toxicity: Linking Approaches from Ecological and Human Toxicology (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (Setac))

In the last decade and a half, great progress has been made in the development of concepts and models for mixture toxicity, both in human and environmental toxicology.However, due to their different protection goals, developments have often progressed in parallel but with little integration.Arguably the first book to clearly link ecotoxicology and classic human toxicology, Mixture Toxicity: Linking Approaches from Ecological and Human Toxicology incorporates extensive reviews of exposure to toxicants, toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics, toxicity of mixtures, and risk assessment. The book examines developments in both fields, compares and contrasts their current state of the art, and identifies where one field can learn from the other.Each chapter provides an essential overview of the state of the art in both human and ecotoxicological mixture risk assessment, focusing on the work published in the last fifteen years.The coverage progresses from exposure to risk assessment, at each step i
