Investigating Environmental Toxicology for Public Health, (Hardcover)

Environmental toxicology examines the impact of chemical, biological, and physical agents on human health and ecosystems. As industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural practices introduce pollutants into air, water, and soil, the risk of exposure to harmful substances increases. Understanding how these toxic agents interact with biological systems helps identify health risks, set safety standards, and inform public health policies. By investigating environmental toxicology, scientists and policymakers can better prevent disease, promote healthier environments, and protect vulnerable populations from long-term health effects. Investigating Environmental Toxicology for Public Health examines the intricate connections between environmental contaminants and their effects on ecosystems and human health. From the basic concepts of toxicology to the impacts of different environmental contaminants, it explores environmental toxicology's relationship to risk management, environmental policy, and human health. This book covers topics such as medical diagnosis, oncology, and environmental contaminants, and is a useful resource for toxicologists, public health officials, medical professionals, academicians, researchers, and environmental scientists.
