| Endocrine Disrupters: Biological Basis for
Health Effects in Wildlife and Humans |
| by David O. Norris and James Carr; June 2005; ISBN
0195137493 |
|
This book addresses the biological effects of the reasonably large
number of classes of compounds that have been recognized as endocrine
disrupters. These compounds have been found to persist as pollutants
in the environment, and have been blamed for causing developmental
disorders and/or fertility problems in fish, amphibians, reptiles,
birds, and possibly humans. This book presents the relevant
fundamentals of the endocrine systems of animals and humans, the
toxicology, developmental toxicology, ecology, and risk assessment
methods, and lays out the current state of understanding for the whole
field, organized by the classes of compounds that have been identified
as endocrine disrupters.

| Handbook of Elemental Speciation, II :
Species in the Environment, Food, Medicine and Occupational Health |
| by Rita Cornelis, Joe Caruso, Helen Crews, and Klaus Heumann;
June 2005; ISBN 0470855983 |
| This handbook explores elemental species in both living and
non-living systems. It is of interest to a wide range of scientists,
including analytical chemists, biochemists, toxicologists, clinicians and
environmental scientists in academia, government laboratories and
industry. Those involved in regulatory or legislative activities will find
it to be a source of relevant information. It is also intended to be a
comprehensive database for students in these disciplines.
The analytical methodology has been the subject of Volume 1 of this handbook.
This second volume covers in great detail the various species of 21
elements, of the actinides and of four groups of compounds (halogens,
volatile metal compounds of biogenic origin, metal complexes of humic
substances and metal complexes of proteins) within four key areas:
environment, food, occupation and clinical health. Chapters on modelling
of trace element species in the environment, food, health and disease
illustrate the power of modern chemometric techniques in describing the
behaviour of elemental species in complicated systems.
Elemental speciation is a relatively young discipline and as a
consequence, the fundamental knowledge is sometimes fragmentary and
incomplete. Thus, each contribution is a stand-alone reference, written by
a recognized expert in the field, aiming to be as informative as possible. |

| Chemical Consequences: Environmental
Mutagens, Scientist Activism, and the Rise of Genetic Toxicology |
| by Scott Frickel; August 2004; ISBN
0813534135 |
| This book is an historical and
sociological account of the formation of an interdisciplinary science
known as genetic toxicology, and of the scientists’ social movement that
created it. After research, geneticists
discovered that synthetic chemicals were capable of changing the genetic
structure of living organisms, scientists began to explore how these
chemicals affected gene structure and function. In the late 1960s, a small
group of biologists became concerned that chemical mutagens represented a
serious and possibly global environmental threat. Genetic
toxicology is nurtured as much by public culture as by professional
practices, reflecting the interplay of genetics research and environmental
politics. Drawing on a wealth of resources, the author examines the
creation of this field through the lens of social movement theory. He
reveals how a committed group of scientist-activists transformed chemical
mutagens into environmental problems, mobilized existing research
networks, recruited scientists and politicians, secured financial
resources, and developed new ways of acquiring knowledge. The result is a
book that vividly illustrates how science and activism were interwoven to
create a discipline that remains a defining feature of environmental
health science. |

(Editors); May 2004; ISBN 0415271800 |
| Quantitative Structure-Activity
Relationships (QSARs) are increasingly used to predict the toxicity and
fate of chemicals both to man and in the environment. The increased use of
QSAR has come from a variety of areas (academic, industrial, regulatory)
and has been spawned from a realization that there are very few
toxicological data for the vast numbers of chemicals released into the
environment. More recently, concern about animal welfare and testing, has
furthered the efforts in this area. Despite this interest, there is little
coherent information covering these broad areas, and recommendations made
from the regulatory and industrial users of QSARs are not recorded. This
book will fill an obvious need by providing a comprehensive explanation of
state of the prediction methods. Uniquely, it will be a practical book
that illustrates the use of these techniques in real life scenarios. This
book will demystify QSARs for those students unsure of them, and
professionals in environmental toxicology and chemistry will find this a
useful reference in their everyday working lives. |

| A Small Dose of Toxicology: The Health
Effects of Common Chemicals |
| by Steven G. Gilbert; February 2004;
ISBN 0415311683 |
| Everyday, we come into contact with many
relatively harmless substances that could, at certain concentrations, be
toxic. This applies not only to obvious candidates such as asbestos, lead,
and gasdline, but also to compounds such as caffeine and headache tablets.
While the field of toxicology has numerous texts devoted to aspects of
biology, chemistry, and mechanism of action, the need remains for a book
that places toxicology within the framework of our daily lives. This book
presents the principles of toxicology by exploring the effects of common
chemical agents such as caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. It reviews the
fundamentals of dose-response and factors of individual sensitivity in
regard to these drugs, and then applies this knowledge to environmental
contaminates such as lead, arsenic, pesticides, mercury, and radiation.
Chapters discuss neurotoxicology, risk assessment, carcinogenicity, and
with a variety of specific toxic agents, with each chapter designed as a
self-contained module to allow for flexibility in the selection of
personal or academic material. Exploring current toxicology concerns
within a human context, this text discusses how toxicology affects our
everyday lives while providing insight into the broader issues of public
health and disease prevention. Environmental and public health
professionals, as well as novices and students requiring a basic
foundation in toxicology will find this resource incredibly useful. |

| Alternative Toxicological Methods for the
New Millennium |
| by Sidney A. Katz and Harry Salem
(Editors); March 2003; ISBN 084931528X |
| Bringing together the recent and
relevant contributions of over 125 scientists from industry, government,
and academia in North America and Western Europe, Alternative
Toxicological Methods explores the development and validation of
replacement, reduction, and refinement alternatives (the 3Rs) to animal
testing. Internationally recognized scientists present what has been
accomplished thus far in developing acceptable alternatives to traditional
animal toxicological assessment and provide potentially new initiatives.
In over 40 chapters, the book addresses 7 themes, beginning with the
validation and regulatory acceptance of alternatives in the US, the UK,
and Western Europe. Then the book covers methods based on the mechanisms
of eye irritation at the ocular surface, dermal toxicity testing, and
assessing neurotoxicity. It also includes a case study in the use of
alternatives to determine the mechanism of sulfur mustard action and
discusses the role of transgenics and toxicokinetics in the development of
alternative toxicity tests. Finally the book presents recent innovations
in alternatives, including the use of archival data, and in silico
techniques. Focusing on the science and not the politics, Alternative
Toxicological Methods concisely discusses the application of
state-of-the-art methods and explores cutting-edge research related to
developing and validating alternatives to animal testing. |

| A Guide to Practical Toxicology: Evaluation,
Prediction and Risk |
| by Adam Wolley; April 2003; ISBN
0748409238 |
| Toxicology is a means to an important
end: safety. The effective toxicologist begins with this in mind, and uses
a clear understanding of safety as a relative concept, together with a
rational view of the current safety evaluation paradigm to direct their
work. Too often this approach is ignored or discouraged by traditional
practice. This book encourages both experienced toxicologists, and those
in training, to place toxicological investigation in such a framework. It
looks at the importance of toxicological normality, reviews toxicity
testing methods, and explores new and 'alternative' methods of safety
evaluation. The interpretation of toxicity findings in individual studies
and data packages and the prediction of human-relevant hazards are
reviewed, followed by an introduction to risk and how we perceive and
assess risk in the light of known hazards and the probability of their
occurrence. The final stage of the toxicological process - risk assessment
and management - is reviewed with particular reference to the work
place. |

| Industrial Guide to Chemical and Drug Safety |
| by T. S. S. Dikshith and Prakash V.
Diwan; April 2003; ISBN 0471236985 |
| Exposure to a wide variety of chemicals
and drugs has become common in industrial, laboratory, and even household
environments. Fortunately, global understanding and consequently global
safety standards regarding the management of toxic and hazardous
substances are fast approaching uniformity. The methods of handling, use,
transportation, storage, and disposal in particular are moving toward
standardization. As these protocols involving chemicals and drugs continue
to cross international borders, students and professionals need a reliable
resource to ensure they observe appropriate safety standards. This book
covers not only current standards, but also a wealth of information on
toxins to help regulatory bodies develop new protocols.
The book covers chemicals by key classes such as solvents, pesticides,
and metals, and also by key industries such as drugs, food additives,
plastics, cosmetics, detergents, and soaps. It also explains the
beneficial and harmful aspects of a broad range of materials to which
students, trainees, skilled workers, managers, and personnel associated
with regulatory agencies are exposed, with the purpose of helping them
avoid the illnesses associated with the misuse of chemicals and drugs. |

| An Introduction to Toxicogenomics |
| by Michael E. Burczynski and Thomas E.
Kubic (Editors); March 2003; ISBN 0849313341 |
| Since the advent of DNA microarrays,
oligonucleotide array technology, and gene chip analysis, genomics has
revolutionized the entire field of biomedical research. A byproduct of
this revolution, toxicogenomics is a fast-rising star within toxicological
analysis. Gathering together leading authors and scientists at the
forefront of the field, this book provides a comprehensive overview of
this new discipline. With a focus on toxicology, it introduces the basic
principles of microarray/oligonucleotide array-based genomic analysis and
explains how it fits into the field of biomedical research. These
discussions provide an overview to the actual mechanics of the analyses
themselves and offer insights on handling and quality control. Then the
book features an important section on the basics of data analysis and
clustering methods such as genetic algorithms. Finally, it covers the
application of expression profiling in the field of toxicology and
addresses the two fundamental types of analysis in detail, with sections
dedicated to both mechanistic and predictive studies. Although
toxicogenomics promises fast, efficient techniques and information-rich
data, much of its potential remains untapped. The book also consolidates
the concepts underlying the field to provide a solid foundation from which
to begin your research endeavors. |

| PAHs : An Ecotoxicological Perspective |
| by Peter E. T. Douben, Editor; May 2003;
ISBN 0471560243 |
| Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),
or polyarenes, are one of the largest and most structurally diverse class
of organic molecules known. High percentages of polyarenes, representing a
wide range of molecular sizes and structural types, are present in coal
tars and petroleum residues. The major sources of PAHs are crude oil, coal
and oil shale. The fuels produced from these fossil sources constitute the
primary source of energy for the industrial nations of the world, and the
petrochemicals from these raw materials are the basis of the synthetic
fibre and plastics industries. PAHs are however, widespread pollutants and
their impact on the environment and human health must be monitored and
controlled.
This book will review and assess our scientific understanding of the
ecological exposure and effects PAHs have in different environments and
habitats. It will accomplish this by taking the recipients of the
pollution in the environment as starting points and working its way back
through pathways to access what is required for our understanding of
effects and rationale for control.
Although this book will concentrate on ecological exposure of PAHs, the
general impacts of PAHs on human populations will be touched upon. It is
thought to be the first book to focus on the ecological aspects of PAHs. |

Coastal plains and river valleys are also home to agriculture on a vast
scale and it is not surprising to find that streams and rivers receive the
majority of agricultural runoff, carrying the residues of insecticides,
fungicides and other pesticides into estuaries and coastal zone. This book
brings together toxicology experts
from around the world to assess pesticide burdens in many of the major
food-producing tropical countries. It provides a unique set of case
studies, chronicling pesticide usage and its ecotoxicological impact in
coastal regions. A practical guide to recent research findings and

| Pore-Forming Peptides and Protein Toxins |
| by Gianfranco Menestrina, Mauro Dalla
Serra, S. N. Afriat, and Philip Lazarovici (Editors); March 2003; ISBN
0415298520 |
| Pore-forming proteins and peptides are
ubiquitous in living organisms. They play a central role in bacterial
pathogenesis, immune response, venomous attack and innate immunity, by
which means they are used to attack and eliminate other organisms. They
have the extraordinary property of having two stable structural states.
One corresponds to the secreted, soluble, diffusible, and usually
monomeric form. The other, adopted only upon cellular attack, is a
membrane inserted, channel shaped, and usually oligomeric form. Since
membrane insertion is self-assisted and does not require a chaperon or
dedicated protein machinery, these molecules represent a gold mine for
biochemists and biophysicists interested in the molecular steps leading to
membrane insertion and channel formation. As self-assembling entities,
capable of punching holes of well-defined size in a lipid membrane, they
have found a wealth of applications ranging from cell controlled
permeabilisation to intracellular drug delivery, and from the creation of
chimeric antitumoral immunotoxins to the preparation of sophisticated
elements for biosensors of metal ions or genetic material. This book
provides an essential source of information for graduate students and
academic and industrial researchers in the fields of biochemistry,
biophysics, toxicology and the pharmaceutical sciences. |

caused by occupational exposure and pesticide residues in food; examples of problems with the storage of obsolete stocks of
pesticides in developing countries. The focus is on acute problems in developing countries, particularly in Latin America,
Asia and Africa, but some information is also provided about developed countries. |

| Food Toxicology |
| by William Helferich and Carl K. Winter, Editors; August 2000; ISBN
0849327601 |
| This book presents important topics relating to food safety and
toxicology. The text covers topics such as food allergens, dietary
estrogens, anti-toxicants in food, risk evaluation and regulatory
toxicology. Each chapter is authored by an expert in the field. It
discusses both natural toxins and synthetic toxins, such as pesticides;
the potential toxicity and anti-toxicity of food additives; and the types
of food allergens and their various diagnosis. This book evaluates the
safety of genetically engineered food products. Additional information
will be presented that suggests that chemicals in foods can act as
anti-toxicants. Risk evaluation is debated, with an emphasis on the
limitations of the process. The book concludes with an article, by an FDA
source, on the laws that regulate the natural and synthetic toxicants in
foods. |

| In Vitro Toxicology |
| by Shayne Gad; October 2000; ISBN 1560327693 |
| Toxicology has made tremendous strides in the sophistication of the models used to identify and understand the mechanisms of agents
that can harm or kill humans and other higher organisms. As this book demonstrates, there now exists a broad range of in vitro
models for use in either identifying or understanding most forms of toxicity. The availability of in vitro models spans both the full range of
endpoints (irritation, sensitization, lethality, mutagency and developmental toxicity) and the full spectrum of target organ systems
(skin, eye, heart, liver, kidney, nervous system, etc.) The book devotes chapters to each of these specialty areas from a perspective
of presenting the principal models and their uses and limitations. |
