Toxicology has been recognized as a separate discipline in all sciences both at undergraduate and post graduate levels for the last four decades and lot of emphasis has been given on its teaching, research and practical utility from clinical point of view. This book was written with two goals in mind (i) to provide a textbook for students that would supplement their classroom instruction and (ii) to supply a valuable aid to practioneThe book has been prepared in a most comprehensive manner with up to date references which offers invaluable, clinically oriented guidance on numerous potentially toxic substances. In addition, to covering traditional and non-traditional areas of toxicology it provides a wealth of quick reference charts and tables that gives vital information at your finger tips.
