Toxicology and biological monitoring of metals in humans: Including feasibility and need

Book ·
OSTI ID:6966091
This book compromises 53 data profiles, one for each metal or metalloid for which the major toxic effects are not due to radiation. Data on tissue levels and levels in body fluids, especially blood and urine are emphasized. Data on human exposure, both environment and occupational, are presented, including levels in air, water, and diet, along with body balance and body burden information. An effects section summarizes acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, biochemistry, specific organs and systems, teratogenicity, mutangenicity, and carcinogenicity.
