This book describes biophysical and biochemical methods for assessing toxicity as well as discovering the underlying mechanisms by which toxic chemicals act. It examines primary and secondary pollutants from automobile exhaust, such as carbon monoxide and ozone; industrial pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide; herbicides and pesticides; and cigarette smoke. The effects examined range from perturbations of the cellular membrane to the study of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. 561 references, 94 figures, 71 tables.
