MYCOTOXINS AND PHYCOTOXINS: ADVANCES IN DETERMINATION, TOXICOLOGY AND EXPOSURE MANAGEMENT (HB 2006) Hardcover

This book compiles selected, expert-reviewed papers from the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) symposium on 'Mycotoxins and phycotoxins'. These symposia are the leading international gatherings for discussing the occurrence, advancements in detection, toxicology, and management of exposure to these biological contaminants from various sources. The book's chapters are grouped into sections that provide current overviews of the latest issues related to mycotoxins and phycotoxins. A dedicated section highlights progress in analytical techniques, including rapid screening tools, highly sensitive instrumental methods, and combinations thereof, used for detecting single and multiple toxins. The identification of crucial agricultural factors and pre-harvest forecasting for timely intervention are discussed as part of exposure management strategies. Over its 30-year history, this IUPAC symposium series has expanded in its scope, scientific innovation, and overall importance for researchers and professionals in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, and worldwide.
