This text is a source of information on the toxicity of anaesthetic agents. The editors define toxicity in a broad sense to mean an adverse effect, whether that effect is the result of pharmacological, toxicological, physiological, or other mechanisms. They bring together reviews by experts in the disciplines concerned - including biochemistry, genetics, and immunology - involved in current research on these adverse effects.; The initial chapters provide an understanding of the factors responsible for toxicity, and the ways in which the adverse effects of anaesthetics can be investigated.

This two-volume set provides essential information on the general princi-ples of target organ toxicity. Pharmacokinetics, metabolic activation and key defense mechanisms, excretion, species variation, and tissue-specific biochemistry are explored comprehensively. These general principles are then illustrated using specific examples of toxicity to different target organs and systems. DNA modifi-cation and repair in tumor induction, and specificity in tumor initiation are also examined. Of primary interest to toxicologist, pharma-cologists, biochemists, and environmental toxicologists.

Public interest in the health impacts of carbon monoxide (CO) has been increasing rapidly during the past decade. And rightly so: it is the most ubiquitous environmental poison. Car exhaust fumes, furnaces, gas-powered engines, home water heaters, smoke from all types of fire, and tobacco smoke all contribute to carbon monoxide intoxication - the leading cause of poisoning death in the United States. Even when it doesn’t cause death, it often produces lasting, deleterious effects on the central nervous system.From one of the world’s top CO experts, Carbon Monoxide Toxicity examines

Nicotine has been developed as a medication ta assist smoking cessation, and is being considered as a possible drug for the long-term management of non-smoking. It is also being evaluated as treatment for severalk medical disorders, including ulcerative colitis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, attention deficit disorder, spastisity, ans sleep apnea. Understanding its safety and toxitity is essential for drug developers, drug regulators, and clinicians making risk/benefit decisions about long-term nicotine therapy. Research on nicotine toxicity i

"With expertise in dietborne metals, nutrition, and regulation of metals in the aquatic environment, scientists and policy specialists convened at a SETAC Pellston Workshop to address digestive physiology, chemistry, and nutrition related to dietborne metals; laboratory studies of toxic effects of dietborne metals; field studies of toxic effects of dietborne metals; and incorporation of dietborne metals exposure into regulatory frameworks. The output from that workshop, Toxicity of Dietborne Metals to Aquatic Organisms, lays a foundation for reconsideration of the fate and potential effects of
