15 صفحه اولA Textbook of Modern Toxicology
As illustrated in the previous chapter, the human body can be exposed to a variety of toxicants that may be present in various environmental media such as air, soil, water, or food. However, just simply being exposed to these hazardous chemicals does not necessarily translate into a toxicological response. The mammalian body has several inherent defense mechanisms and membrane barriers that ten...

More than 100,000 chemicals are released into the global environment every year through their normal production, use, and disposal. To understand and predict the potential risk that this environmental contamination poses to humans and wildlife, we must couple our knowledge on the toxicity of a chemical to our knowledge on how chemicals enter into and behave in the environment. The simple box mo...

Industrial and agricultural endeavors are intimately associated with the extensive use of a wide array of chemicals. Historically chemical wastes generated through industrial processes were disposed of through flagrant release into the environment. Gasses quickly dispersed into the atmosphere; liquids were diluted into receiving waters and efficiently transported away from the site of generatio...
متن کاملA Textbook of Modern Toxicology
The metabolism of toxicants and their overall toxicity can be modified by many factors both extrinsic and intrinsic to the normal functioning of the organism. It is entirely possible that many changes in toxicity are due to changes in metabolism, because most sequences of events that lead to overt toxicity involve activation and/or detoxication of the parent compound. In many cases the chain of...
