Description
Fully comprehensive and rigorously reviewed by IUPAC Committees, Comprehensive Glossary of Terms Used in Toxicology serves as the reference glossary for students and researchers in toxicology, and those involved in chemicals legislation, regulation and risk assessment. Toxicology uses terminology from chemistry, medicine, geology, botany, zoology, ecology, and veterinary medicine, as well as some legal terms. Toxicology has become crucial to global trade in chemicals as legislation is increasingly co-ordinated around the world and is based on the classification of toxicity. Consistent terminology is crucial for effective legislation and trade in the modern world. This ebook represents the culmination, or at least a resting point, in the long-term project that has resulted in five glossaries published as IUPAC Recommendations in Pure and Applied Chemistry (see IUPAC project 2013-006-1-700 for references). The project was initiated in 1989 by the IUPAC Commission on Toxicology to provide a glossary of definitions of terms used in toxicology. 776 p.
