EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
The volumes of this series present almost 300 indispensable toxicological evaluation documents on important occupational toxicants and carcinogens. They describe the toxicological database which determines the level of a MAK value (Maximum Concentrations at the Workplace). Each evaluation document is written to a standard format and includes sections about toxic effects, modes of action, effects in man, effects on animals, genotoxicity and carcinogenicity, manifesto. For the series 'Occupational Toxicants', the most recent of these critical reviews have been translated into English. For each substance or group of substances, known effects are described and safe exposure levels derived by analysis of the available data. Inadequacies in the data are identified and recommendations made for further research.
