Know about the book -

Essentials of Toxic Chemical Risk is written by Stephen Penningroth and published by CRC Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0203022629 (ISBN 10) and 9780203022627 (ISBN 13).

This volume provides a basic introduction to toxicology within a framework of chemical risk to ecosystems and to human health and forms the basis of a new approach to teaching toxicology from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective. It presents concepts from chemistry, ecology, physiology, and other disciplines as needed within the context of toxicology. These include chemical equilibrium, energy, and nutrient flows through ecosystems. It also introduces concepts specific to toxicology, such as risk as a composite of toxicity and exposure, and provides case studies of risk management to illustrate the ways in which laboratory results are used to manage chemical risk to human health and the environment.
