Toxicology: Principles and Methods

The study of toxicants—their route of entry, their absorption, distribution, elimination and transformation, and their dynamics within organisms and the environment—have been clearly dealt with in this book. It provides a concise, well-balanced and technical introduction to toxicology with focus on the basic principles and concepts. It would prove to be a complete study unit for new entrants to this field. The chapter “Impact of pollutants on aquatic organisms” has been written exclusively based on the author’s laboratory observations.
