Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology, Vol. 2

The Fourth Edition of Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology, Volume 2 is the most comprehensive compilation of industrial toxicology produced to date. Representing the collected work of some of the world's leading toxicologists, this new edition is a thorough, all-inclusive compendium of chemicals that pose a potential threat to the health and safety of workers and the community. Expanded to six books containing a total of 46 chapters covering thousands of chemicals, the Fourth Edition reflects an intense proliferation in research and interest surrounding public health issues since the Third Edition was published twelve years ago. The second book (B) of Volume 2 continues the detailed examination begun in book A of the host of toxins common to the modern industrial workplace. The book's systematic, chapter-by-chapter analysis includes: Aromatic nitro and amino compounds Aliphatic and alicyclic amines Fluorine-containing organic compounds Aliphatic hydrocarbons Alicyclic hydrocarbons Aromatic hydrocarbons Halogenated benzenes Chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides Phenols and phenolic compounds Faithful to Frank Patty's original vision of a convenient, comprehensive field reference that blends timely coverage with cutting-edge research, the new Fourth Edition of Toxicology is now more practical and authoritative than ever. Toxicologists, industrial hygienists, and physicians, among other scientists, will find these six books of Volume 2 useful in pursuing particular areas of interest. Indispensable in an era of heightened concern over worker and workplace health and safety, Part 2B: Toxicology is an irreplaceable reference for the professional interested in keeping abreast of the practical dangers of industrial and community toxins.Clayton, George D. is the author of 'Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology, Vol. 2', published 1993 under ISBN 9780471547259 and ISBN 0471547255.
