This book serves as a training guide, enabling a reader to go from no prior knowledge of toxicology to an advanced basics level of understanding. The chapters are laid out to introduce the basic theory and then expanded to more advanced aspects, which is then applied in later chapters that deal with specific issues such as pesticides, alcohol, and cigarettes and their impact on human health. One chapter, Human Health Risk Assessment, deals with risk assessment and the role of toxicology. Each chapter contains a summary of the key points that have been covered and a listing of online resources on toxicology and risk assessment.
