"The editors' thoughtful treatment is absolutely stunning as is their capacity to guide authors toward creative, comprehensive entries while also maintaining a degree of uniformity among topics … Inhalation Toxicology has been a standard reference and textbook for respiratory scientists."—J. Thomas Pierce, PhD, Navy Environmental Health Center, in Doody’s Review Service
