Introduction to Environmental Toxicology: Impacts of Chemicals Upon Ecological Systems, Third Edition
Product Description
The rapidly evolving field of environmental toxicology involves the study of toxic compounds and their effect on living organisms, as well as their fate within the natural environment. Since publication of the first edition, Introduction to Environmental Toxicology has found a secure place among the major texts and references in this field. Introduction to Environmental Toxicology, Third Edition seamlessly covers processes and impacts from the molecular level all the way up to populace levels. Even as retaining the strengths of previous editions, the third edition includes a new chapter on fluoride, an update on endocrine disruption, a discussion of the use of models to reconstruct concentration-response curves, expansion of the metals chapter, and new developments in ecological risk assessment for management decisions at site to regional scales. It is an ideal text for introducing students to the fields of ecotoxicology and risk assessment.

Used this book for a toxicology class. Seemed well written, very up to date and not overly technical. A excellent read.
Rating: 4 / 5
This is perhaps one of the more intellectual stimulating toxicology books place out for the general broadcast. Landis, unlike many of his modern day contemporaries, literally gives the reader an indepth insight into the discipline of toxicology as correlated to biology, chemistry, ecology, and general mathematics. Furthermore, the author significantly clarifies the beneficial use of Risk Assessments and Risk Analysis as correlated to ecotoxicity and exposure in the environment.
From an environmental science standpoint, the author communicates his thoughts and theoretical/scientific idealms well to the reader for he or she to get a thorough understanding. Terms and scientific expressions as correlated to the field of environmental toxicology are well clarified throughout the text.
This book is a must have for all those desiring a more detailed and thorough scientific and informative background in the field of environmental toxicology as it relates to ecotoxicity and environmental fate and exposure of chemicals in the enviroment.
