Vol 6: Toxicology
Description
Toxicology is le scientific study de adverse effects de chemicals or physical agents sur biological organisms. Few examples de toxic agents are lead, mercury, chlorine, methanol, coal dust, asbestos fibre, noise et radiation. Le dose de a substance is all en toxicology that classifies whether le substance under consideration is toxic or not. Paracelsus who is regarded as le father de toxicology stated sur significance de dose that All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison. Le right dose differentiates a poison et a remedy. Le toxicity de a substance depends sur a number de factors like form et innate chemical activity, dosage, dose-time relationship, exposure route, species, age, sex, ability to be absorbed, metabolism, distribution within le body, excretion et presence de other toxic substances. Environnemental toxicology uses a variety de techniques to study le impact de toxic agents sur living organisms et provides powerful tools pour assessing le risks associated avec le presence de these agents. Le present volume 6 offers a good stock de articles sur toxicology, environmental fate de agricultural chemicals, toxic effects de hospital waste, toxic effects de herbicides sur fishes et many more. Le topics covered en this volume include: • Introduction à toxicology • Un primer sur pesticides • Environnemental fate et toxicology de pesticides • Pratique approaches towards pesticides degradation • Pesticide transformation products as contaminants de water compartments • Pesticide residue en agricultural et aquaculture products de Inde • Pesticides classification et its impact sur human et environment • Solid waste from hospital et their toxic effects sur aquatic organisms • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as contaminants de concern pour aquatic organisms • RP-HPLC based development et characterization de drugs • Properties, occurrence et content de polyphenols en food et potential effects • Effects de commercial herbicides avec glyphosate against amphibian et fishes • Fighting parasites avec photodynamic reactions involving chlorophyll derivatives • Bone growth, oxidative stress et antioxidant responses to implantation de titanium plate • Behavioural toxicity de diesel en estuarine mudwhelk de Sundarbans biosphere reserve • Organophosphorus insecticides et organ toxicity • Environnemental toxins et neurodegeneration • Biopesticides pour environmental safety This volume contains 18 articles from 48 researchers and/or academicians representing 9 nations, namely Argentina, China, Egypt, Germany, Inde, Libya, Mexico, Spain et United States de America giving an overview de le various research activities being carried out en different parts de le world en le field de Toxicology.
