Online resources: Summary: Each day we are exposed to a myriad of natural and human-made chemicals in our food, drinking water, air, soil, at home or at the workplace--pesticide residues, food additives, drugs, household products--but how can we gauge the human health risk posed by these chemicals? Should we believe the somber headlines that depict a serious threat for humans and the environment, or should we follow the reassuring voices of others who claim that the angst is totally unfounded? Why the Dose Matters: Assessing the Health Risk of Exposure to Toxicants uses a rational, science-based approach to explain in plain language that a quantitative view is key for understanding and predicting potentially toxic effects of chemicals. Key Features: Explains the basics of toxicology in easily understandable terms. Includes numerous examples. Clears up common misconceptions and dispels myths. Provides take-home messages for each chapter. This book is aimed at interested laypeople. It uses numerous examples to illustrate the basic concepts and ensure that the reader will get a better understanding of why not only the hazard but also the overall exposure will determine whether some chemicals pose a serious risk while others are of little or negligible concernPPN: PPN: 1882632672Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-4-NLEBK | BSZ-4-NLEBK-KAUB
