Introduction To Environmental Toxicology Molecular Substructures To Ecological Landscapes 5Ed (Hb 2018) Hardcover

This fifth edition has been updated with new content on adverse outcome pathways, the impact of climate change on toxicology, and a new chapter addressing contaminants of emerging concern. It also expands on how exposure-response curves are developed to characterize toxicity and contrasts this approach with hypothesis testing. The book is structured around the central idea of explaining the complete cause-and-effect sequence, starting with how a chemical's structure influences exposure and receptor interaction, and extending to the use of complex systems and hierarchical patch dynamic theory to describe landscape-level effects.
