_Handbook on the Toxicology of Metals, Fourth Edition_ bridges the gap
between established knowledgebase and new advances in metal toxicology
to provide one essential reference for all those involved in the
field. This book provides comprehensive coverage of basic
toxicological data, emphasizing toxic effects primarily in humans, but
also those of animals and biological systems in vitro. The fourth
edition also contains several new chapters on important topics such as
nanotoxicology, metals in prosthetics and dental implants,
gene-environment interaction, neurotoxicology, metals in food, renal,
cardiovascular, and diabetes effects of metal exposures and more.
Volume I covers “General Considerations and Volume II is devoted
to “Specific Metals. A multidisciplinary resource with
